Why do all you linux people run sudo ops, wouldn't it be better to just
run the real thing??
(( I really know what it stands for but this thread is long enough now
to handle one wise comment, no? ))

Subject Re: [chirp_users] New chirp-next build
Testing here on a Fedora 37 VM with a Yaesu FT-60R. So far, so good.
To get it up and running, I had to do the following.
Downloaded source package and unpacked
Ran 'sudo python setup.py install' in the chirp directory.
Ran 'sudo dnf install python3-wxpython4'
I have run the application and downloaded from the radio successfully.

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.
