Actually, he did in the subject line. The Puppy Linux site is<br>
<a href="https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/</a><br>
<br>
That said, it appears there's multiple "flavours" of that distribution,<br>
some of which are Debian/Ubuntu based and some are Slackware based.<br>
(There's a blast from the past! Slackware would be what, 31 years old<br>
now?)<br>
<br>
So more detail might be needed. Off the top of my head though, I'd<br>
check for:<br>
<br>
- wxWidgets libraries<br>
- wxPython, if it's compiled, otherwise grab wxWidgets development<br>
libraries and a compiler.<br>
- ensure you have `pip` installed for Python 3<br>
<br>
The exact commands will differ depending on the base OS being used.<br>
Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, one should be able to use `apt`'s commands<br>
(i.e. `apt-cache search` / `apt-get install`). For Slackware, you'll<br>
need to use Slackware's tools (`pkgtool`).<br>
<br>
If all of that is in place, you _should_ be able to run<br>
`python3 -m pip install --user requirements.txt` to install the Python<br>
module dependencies into your local user's home directory.<br>
<br>
Then you should be able to run Chirp with `./chirpwx.py`, or install it<br>
into your home directory with `python3 setup.py install --user`.<br>

I haven't lost my mind...<br>
