Okay, bit strange… Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, therefore uses `apt`,<br>
so as an Ubuntu derivative, there should be an `apt` binary installed.<br>
<br>
But, I digress…<br>

Okay, watch case sensitivity here; most installs on Python (even on<br>
Windows) use a lower case `python`, and all Linux distributions are<br>
case-sensitive. `python3` should work, but `Python3` will likely yield<br>
a "command not found".<br>
<br>
Similarly with file names; `Chirpw.py` won't work if the file is<br>
actually called `chirpw.py`. I know it sounds pedantic, but on Unix<br>
variants, it matters.<br>

The git repository does have a `chirpwx.py`. This seems to not be<br>
distributed in the tarball. That said, you can still run Chirp from<br>
the unpacked tarball:<br>
<br>
I downloaded<br>
<a href="https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/next-20230328/chirp-20230328.tar.gz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/next-20230328/chirp-20230328.tar.gz</a><br>
-- for reference, here's the checksum to confirm you got the same file<br>
I did.<br>
<br>
$ sha256sum /tmp/chirp-20230328.tar.gz <br>
5e4ce5f2eef80fec7a5d7e47383c99957c16a31df2f8b4a705fab0c50090ce5a /tmp/chirp-20230328.tar.gz<br>
<br>
I unpacked it with `tar -xzf chirp-20230328.tar.gz`; that created a<br>
`chirp-20230328` sub-directory. Indeed, if I enter that directory and do a `ls`, there's no<br>
`chirpwx.py`. I had a look though, there's a `chirp/wxui` sub-directory though, so I tried:<br>
<br>
$ python3 -m chirp.wxui<br>
<br>
The Chirp window appeared. So you might be able to run it that way.<br>
<br>
That said, the safer approach may be to run `python3 setup.py install<br>
--user` and run it via whatever scripts that creates in your<br>
`~/.local/bin` directory (or via desktop icons).<br>
