Stable release¶

Version 0.2.2 was released on 11-April-2012. Click here for the release test report, which shows what was tested for each model (and thus what is expected to work).

Windows¶

Note that only Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 are supported

• Windows installer: chirp-0.2.2-installer.exe (Recommended)
• Windows standalone: chirp-0.2.2-win32.zip

Linux¶

Most modern distributions should have almost everything required to run chirp. Make sure you have python-serial and python-libxml2 packages installed.

• Source tarball: chirp-0.2.2.tar.gz
• Fedora users: d-rats-repo.rpm
• Ubuntu users: ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa

For more information about using CHIRP under Linux, see the Running Under Linux page

Mac OS¶

MacOS users must install the KK7DS Python runtime before the application will execute. This only needs to be installed once.

• Application package: chirp-0.2.2.app.zip

Development builds¶

Daily builds are generated automatically as changes are put into the source code repository. Although they should be handled with care and not considered stable, they do contain the latest fixes, features, and model support.

Windows, MacOS, Linux¶

The daily build repository contains builds for Windows and MacOS, as well as source snapshots for use on Linux. Click here to find the latest version.

Ubuntu PPA¶
