I'll have to look around, in the chirp-master folder, there is no chirpw file.

When I installed chirp-next, it showed up as 'chirp' not 'chirpw' and was
located at '/usr/local/bin/chirp'

Even though I didn't get chirp running from the command line, I was able to
run it with python3 chirpwx.py while in the source folder. Here's what I found:
Orca is reading menus, and will allow you to open and save files
After opening a known good radio image, Orca announced to me that the
memories page had focus, but I was still unable to arrow around and read the
various memory values. I was able to export the image to a .csv file, so a good
image it definitely was.
That's all I have from the short tinkering I did. Good luck team in 2023.
Thanks,
Guy

Hi Glenn,
These are the steps I took to install Chirp manually on Ubuntu 22.04
Steps to install Chirp manually on Linux.
1. Make sure you have at least Python 3.7 installed.
A. Type "python" in a command line terminal.
B. Some Linux distros require using "python3". If your distro requires
this, please type "python3" anywhere in this document that you see "python"
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".
3. Open a browser and navigate to https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp
4. Click on the green "<> Code" button dropdown.
5. Click on "Download Zip" and save the zip file to your preferred
location.
6. My file saved as "chirp-master.zip"
7. Unzip the zip file with the following command:
A. "unzip chirp-master.zip"
8. Change into the resulting chirp-master directory:
A. "cd chirp-master"
9. Pip install Chirp's dependencies:
A. "pip install -r requirements.txt
10. Install Chirp:
A. "python setup.py install"
11. Now you can start chirp by running "chirp" from the command line.
Note: On ubuntu 22.04 you might have to install "python3-wxgtk4.0" before
the pip install step.
Let me know if this helps. Orca was able to read me the menu items while I
moved around chirp with my arrow keys.

Hi David,
Actually, a string of stuff that can be written into a bash script would
be great, with the preclusion that the user install git first.
So yes, it would be appreciated.

Hey Glenn,
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.
Let me know if you'd like help running from the git repository.
Best,
Dave

Well for accessibility, that is for the visually impaired to use Chirp,
they will need a Linux using Python 2X, and an old Chirp that will install into
it.
Personally, I've not ever gotten a package of Chirp to be able to
install right from downloading a Linux package, I rely on using apt to get
Chirp from a repository.
I had to follow step by step instruction to get Chirp to install into a
newer Linux with Python 3, and I found after all that that flatpak breaks
accessibility.
So rather than putting someone through all that, I'm sure there are
folks who would gladly download a big file that they can rite to a drive and
boot it up and have Chirp working.

Shipping a complete Ubuntu installation in a VM just to have CHIRP
pre-installed seems a bit of over-kill. Typically a single line command would
install CHIRP, wouldn't it?
CHIRP is 20-40 megabytes, a full GUI install of Ubuntu is measured in
gigabytes.

Yes, installing a 3rd party package (Chirp) and distributing a VM
image of it can be considered 'modification'.

Well if it is the only someone can use Chirp, either for
accessibility, or because of operating system, I see nothing wrong with it.
I may DD my thumb drive with Ubuntu and Chirp on it, if I can find
a drive with just that on it, and give a link to anyone who wants it.
Some of my thumb drives are multiboot, with several operating
systems on it, so I'll need to go through a bunch of them to find one that has
Ubuntu 18 and Chirp.

I can't imagine anyone here wants to be responsible for setting up,
distributing, and supporting a VM image of what is now outdated and no longer
supported software. I know I wouldn't want to be. There's a reason the software
is outdated, the best solution is to keep up.

What would be handy is to have a VM of Ubuntu with the old Chirp
already installed, so that can be implemented.
I am sure I have an old Ubuntu Live on a thumb drive with Chirp
on it, but I don't know if that can be made into a VM.
