CHIRP

For fun, I reinstalled the tarball. Ran with the ./chirpw and got this:

browettm@penguin:~/chirp-daily-20220823$ ./chirpw
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./chirpw", line 24, in
from chirp.drivers import *
File "/home/browettm/chirp-daily-20220823/chirp/drivers/idrp.py", line 16, in
import serial
ImportError: No module named serial

This is expected, running the chirpw script from the source tarball doesn't usually work.

There's a number of dependencies that chirp needs to work correctly. You'll need to locate them for your operating system.

You can install the Linux subsystem (either officially if supported or via crouton if not) and then install the dependencies for CHIRP and it should launch like any other linux app.

If you need a reference for which dependencies CHIRP needs, you are welcome to check out my appimage-builder recipe at https://github.com/goldstar611/chirp-appimage/blob/a8f8bd230ec184a63d6f7985d098865aae8d3843/AppImageBuilder.yml#L36-L46
