Okay, I read the file called install
So I ran
sudo python3 setup.py --record install
files.txt
Or something like that, and it looked okay, now
I'll test it out.

Hi David,
I installed pip, and unzipped Chirp.
I didn't really find install steps in the readme.md
file.
I tried
python3 setup.py
and got errors, and it did not
install.
Your steps stop at go into the new Chirp
directory.
Thanks for any assistance.

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.

Be aware of Ubuntu's IPRights Policy, particularity concerning
redistribution:
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.
