[chirp_users] Can't install on Ubuntu 23.04
I'm following these instructions: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux
$ pip3 install chirp-20230425.tar.gz error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
So I tried pipx: $ pipx install chirp-20230425.tar.gz Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file: /home/david/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2023-04-25_11.52.02_pip_errors.log
Some possibly relevant errors from pip install: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement chirp-20230425-tar-gz (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for chirp-20230425-tar-gz
Error installing chirp-20230425-tar-gz.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
Those instructions are not updated for 23.04, which (along with upstream python) has fundamentally changed how installing python packages works. You can look at this bug for more details:
https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/10541
I have on my todo list to update that with instructions for 23.04 but for the moment you'll have to pick out the details from the discussion there.

David Is this a new install or an upgrade.?
If an upgrade you should be able to do 'pip install --upgrade /path/to/chirp-20230425.tar.gz' and it should work. If a new install then Dan's comment above applies.
If, by chance, you did an original install as a system-wide install using sudo then the upgrade also would require sudo.
Note that one should always be in their home directory when doing a local install as those instructions show.

I have a question. I just pulled from git. I didn't see that whl file. Is there a different way to install when pulling from git?
The wheel is built during the build process, so you can find them here:
https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/next-20230425/
Just FYI, installing from git will not get you everything you need as some of the assets get built and put into the right place only during the build process. It also means you don't get a version stamped into your chirp which makes it really hard for us if you report a bug, and may also impact some of the data query services where chirp reports its version to them during the query for compatibility and other type stuff.

Got it! I figured it out and downloaded the wheel last night. Got it installed. Thanks for your help. 73

Thank you! That was the magic. So all the steps I had to do to install on Ubuntu 23.04 were the following:
sudo apt install git python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-serial python3-six python3-future python3-requests python3-pip cd into_the_directory_with_the_whl_file_I_downloaded pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230425-py3-none-any.whl
Thanks again! -David, N9KT

I don't know about 20.04 (the current LTS is 22.04).
I do know that the steps on https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux work on Ubuntu 22.04 (the current LTS) and 22.10.
Ubuntu 23.04 changed the way python apps need to be installed.

I had chirp installed with pipx but chirp couldn't find the wx module. At the time I had a later version of wxpython installed than the one in the repository. In desperation I removed that version and then installed the repository version and tried to install chirp again and this is the result:
pipx install chirp-20230427.tar.gz Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file: /home/phil/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2023-05-08_09.35.25_pip_errors.log

I also tried to install wxpython with pipx but that failed as well. I also tried the wheel version of chirp. The pipx log doesn't provide any useful information either.
Has any advancement been made to enable a chirp installation?
Try installing the wheel version.

Here's what I did on my Ubuntu 23.04 which worked:

Thank you David, I had already tried your suggestion. I do have other python apps installed in virtual directories. So this problem is specific to the installation of chirp. I've searched for remnants of a previous chirp installation but I haven't found anything obvious.
Same problem here - will not install on 23.04 as written:

I just followed the updated instructions on the ChirpOnLinux page and was successful at installing the latest CHIRP-next on a clean install of Ubuntu 23.04.
The only thing that was missing from the updated instructions was installing pipx "For distros with the managed flag (Ubuntu 23.04, Debian 11 and later)".
That can probably be added to step 1 but I did it just prior to running step 2.2.
sudo apt install pipx
