<br>
If you read my original post, you'd have seen that the line:-<br>
<br>
pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230509-py3-none-any.whl<br>
<br>
Is the line in error at this time...<br>
<br>
<br>
As to suggesting to learn how to build a package from the sources...<br>
<br>
Why is that not already done by the authors/maintainers?<br>
Surely they know what's needed better than anyone...<br>
