Running CHIRP on Linux¶
This page describes how to get the newer python3-based CHIRP-next running on Linux.
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian, etc¶
Install prerequisite packages:
$ sudo apt install git python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-serial python3-six python3-future python3-requests python3-pip
You should be able to install either the wheel or the tarball using pip
:
$ pip3 install chirp-next-20230114.tar.gz
NOTE: Your system may install
pip
aspip3
like above, or justpip
If you run the above command as a regular user, the chirp
executable will be installed into ~/.local/bin/chirp
. If you run it as root, then it will be in /usr/local/bin/chirp
as you might normally expect.
Optionally You may want to install a newer wxPython, depending on what your distro ships. For Debian-derived distros (including Ubuntu and Mint) you can do that with a command like:
pip3 install -U -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 wxPython
Check the directory listing for other distro versions and use the closest match to what you're on. NOTE that this will not work for non-x86_64 machines (like the Raspberry Pi) as there are no binary builds for those platforms.
