<div dir="ltr">Hi Glenn,
<div><br></div>
<div>These are the steps I took to install Chirp manually on Ubuntu 22.04</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Steps to install Chirp manually on Linux.
<br>
<br>1. Make sure you have at least Python 3.7 installed.
<br> A. Type "python" in a command line terminal.
<br> B. Some Linux distros
require using "python3". If your distro requires this, please type "python3"
anywhere in this document that you see "python"<br>2. run "pip --version" to see
what python version pip is. 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.
Click on "Download Zip" and save the zip file to your preferred location.
<br>6. My file saved as "chirp-master.zip"
<br>7. Unzip the zip file with the
following command:
<br> A. "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. Now you can start chirp by running "chirp" from the command
line. <br>
<br>
<br>Note: On
ubuntu 22.04 you might have to install "python3-wxgtk4.0" before the pip install
step.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Let me know if this helps. Orca was able to read me the menu items while I
moved around chirp with my arrow keys.</div></div><br>

<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>
