CHIRP is distributed as a series of automatically-generated builds. Any time we make a change to CHIRP, a build is created for it the next day. Thus, CHIRP is versioned by the date on which it was created, which makes it easy to determine if you have an older build. We don't put experimental things into CHIRP before they are ready, except where specifically called out with a warning. Thus, you do not need to worry about finding a stable version to run. *You should always be on the latest build available.*

*Upgrading*: You do +NOT+ need to uninstall an existing version of CHIRP before installing a newer one. Just install the new one and it will replace the existing copy!

* CHIRP runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Older versions of Windows are *not* supported
27
* Most users will want to download the installer.exe file, which installs CHIRP like a normal application
28
* The win32.zip file is for advanced users wishing to run CHIRP without installing

* New Mac OS X must install the runtime once before running CHIRP. After it is installed, the runtime does not need to be downloaded or installed each time. Download the "KK7DS Python runtime":http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/KK7DS_Python_Runtime_R10.pkg for Mac OSX.
35
* OS X support is limited to Intel architecture. PowerPC is not supported.
36 1 Dan Smith
* Chirp.app is unsigned. With default security settings, you will need a special procedure to run it: [[MacOS Tips#Application-Security-in-109x|Application Security in 10.9]].

"Homebrew":http://brew.sh users can install Chirp without the KK7DS runtime by running @brew install tdsmith/ham/chirp@ and then running @chirp@ from the terminal.

If you are using Ubuntu linux (or a compatible variant such as Mint) you should install and use the PPA like this:

46 1 Dan Smith
<pre>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
47 3 Dan Smith
sudo apt-get update
48 1 Dan Smith
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily</pre>
49 10 Dan Smith

After installing the build from the PPA, new updates will be included in your normal system software updates. Also see the "Running on Linux":http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux#serial-port-permissions page for additional steps required to gain access to your serial port.

If you don't run a distro for which we have packages, you can run CHIRP right from the tarball available through the link above. Most modern distributions should have almost everything required to run chirp. Make sure you have +python-serial+ and +python-libxml2+ packages installed. For more information about using CHIRP under Linux, see the [[Running_Under_Linux|Running Under Linux]] page

A Linux-based LiveCD is available with CHIRP pre-installed. This will boot on almost any system and provide a highly-compatible CHIRP environment without the need for fussing with a driver. It will not modify your system in any way.
