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.
