You may need to run "pip3" if your distro requires you also use "python3".<br> <br>3. Open a browser and navigate to <a href="https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp" target="_blank">https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp</a> <br>4. Click on the green "<> Code" button dropdown. <br>5.

"unzip chirp-master.zip" <br>8. Change into the resulting chirp-master directory: <br> A. "cd chirp-master" <br>9. Pip install Chirp's dependencies: <br> A. "pip install -r requirements.txt <br>10. Install Chirp: <br> A. "python setup.py install" <br>11.

<div><br></div>
<div>I just tested running chirp directly from the git repository by installing
the dependencies with "pip3 install -r requirements", then running "chirpwx.py"
and orca was able to read everything to me. I'm not an expert on orca. I think
the navigation worked, but it did seem to work fine.</div>

<div>I can't imagine anyone here wants to be responsible for setting up,
distributing, and supporting a VM image of what is now outdated and no
longer supported software. I know I wouldn't want to be. There's a reason
the software is outdated, the best solution is to keep up.<br></div><br>
