You install and run it differently since chirp-next is actually a python3 build.

I installed python3-pip, then as my user I installed chirp-next as my regular user using pip.
Will need to check my notes and verify the steps on  a new clean install of 
Fedora 37 and Chirp-next.  (you did not note the OS you are running, but I assume it is linux.)

However, if you install it with pip as a regular user it is installed under /home/USER/.local/ and the executable is ~/.local/bin/chirp.  
You will need to install (using pip) the wheel and wxpython and attrdict3 packages, but I don't remember what all else is required.  This is why I need to repeat the clean install and verify my notes.

It runs in a venv if installed in that manner so nothing else is needed to run it.  Check your $PATH and if it includes ~/.local/bin then the command 'chirp' is all that will be required.

Hi All
         To run the python 2 version of chirp I would download the .tar.gz file and extract it to a directory.
I would then open a terminal window in that directory. Then run Chirp with the following command
Python Chirpw.py

I am trying to run the python 3 version of chirp using the same method.
My first problem is there is not any chirps.py file to run so I have no idea which file is the one I should run.

My question is how do I run the latest version of chirp running the source code?

Thank you all for your time in reading this email.

Best regards
John
