The chirp download site and the linux instructions have all been updated in the last few days.andDan and I worked together to iron those out for both the Ubuntu/debian versions and the fedora based versions, so those instructions should work on almost all current linux systems using python 3.JeffKI7GJGOn Sat, Mar 25, 2023 at 6:25 PM Stuart Longland <stuartl@longlandclan.id.au> wrote:On Fri, 17 Mar 2023 20:51:30 -0500

Actually, he did in the subject line. The Puppy Linux site is

That said, it appears there's multiple "flavours" of that distribution,
some of which are Debian/Ubuntu based and some are Slackware based.
(There's a blast from the past! Slackware would be what, 31 years old
now?)
So more detail might be needed. Off the top of my head though, I'd
check for:
- wxWidgets libraries
- wxPython, if it's compiled, otherwise grab wxWidgets development
libraries and a compiler.
- ensure you have `pip` installed for Python 3
The exact commands will differ depending on the base OS being used.
Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, one should be able to use `apt`'s commands
(i.e. `apt-cache search` / `apt-get install`). For Slackware, you'll
need to use Slackware's tools (`pkgtool`).
If all of that is in place, you _should_ be able to run
`python3 -m pip install --user requirements.txt` to install the Python
module dependencies into your local user's home directory.
Then you should be able to run Chirp with `./chirpwx.py`, or install it
into your home directory with `python3 setup.py install --user`.
