<DIV><BR></DIV>The CHIRP 'package' for older Linux doesn't need to be
'installed' - you just run it.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Read this page: <A

<DIV>Especially note the following:</DIV>

<P
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)">If
you are here, you are probably running an old or obscure distribution, or you
want to run from source for some other reason (such as testing a daily build).
Before you start, make sure that the required python modules are installed on
your system. Some suggestions on how to do this are:</P>
<UL
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)">
<LI>Ubuntu/Debian: <CODE>apt-get install python-gtk python-serial
python-libxml2</CODE>
<LI>Fedora/RedHat: <CODE>yum install pyserial pygtk2
libxml2-python</CODE></LI></UL>
<P
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)">Next,
grab the source tarball from the <A class=wiki-page
style="TEXT-DECORATION: none; COLOR: rgb(42,86,133)"
href="https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download">Download</A> page
and save it somewhere like your home directory and then unpack it:</P><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; BORDER-TOP: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; WIDTH: auto; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; PADDING-TOP: 2px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 1em 1em 1em 1.6em; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(250,250,250); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)"><CODE>tar xzf chirp-0.1.12.tar.gz<BR>cd chirp-0.1.12</CODE></PRE>
<P
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)">From
here, the easiest thing is to just launch CHIRP directly without installing it
onto your system. Don't worry, this works just fine and CHIRP will be fully
functional. Simply run the following:</P><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; BORDER-TOP: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; WIDTH: auto; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; PADDING-TOP: 2px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 1em 1em 1em 1.6em; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(250,250,250); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)"><CODE>./chirpw</CODE></PRE>
<P
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)">Once
you've tested that it runs on your system, you may want to install it
permanently. To do this, run the setup routine by doing:</P><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; BORDER-TOP: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; WIDTH: auto; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; PADDING-TOP: 2px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 1em 1em 1em 1.6em; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(218,218,218) 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(250,250,250); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)"><CODE>sudo python setup.py install</CODE></PRE>
<P
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(72,72,72); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72)">When
finished, you should be able to run "chirpw" from anywhere on your system, and
(with luck) you'll also have an item in your distribution's applications
menu.</P>So you should just run the chirpw fie in the extracted library.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If you want to 'install' CHIRP, you need to run the setup.py file in the
Python interpreter with the install option.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps,</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am still using Ubuntu 18.04 on one machine,

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I successfully added the Chirp repository to

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So I went to the Chirp archives and downloaded

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I did not find a .sh file for

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm only a moderate Linux user, so maybe
someone can give me some steps for getting Chirp onto this
Ubuntu.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'd rather not use a newer Ubuntu, since for
this, it is just there mainly for using Chirp, and it can be an older Chirp,
as all my radios would work fine with Chirp that is a couple years
