Description

hello,
I've just changed my old UBUNTU OS to DEBIAN 12. On gnome-software there is a CHIRP version number 3.2.2, It seems an old version but I'm not sure.

I tried your advises :"2.2 For distros with the managed flag (Ubuntu 23.04, Debian 11 and later)"
but let me show you the results :
didier@debian:~$ pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230509-py3-none-any.whl
Unable to parse package spec: ./chirp-20230509-py3-none-any.whl
or
*didier@debian:~$ pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20240322-py3-none-any.whl
Unable to parse package spec: ./chirp-20240322-py3-none-any.whl
*

Could you help me to install et to take the daily versions ? I tried a flatpak version, but it does'not work any more.
Best Regards
Didier

Hi Didier,

The ChirpOnLinux page has examples on installing CHIRP on Linux but since the CHIRP file name changes with each release, you need to make some adjustments.

You'll need to download the CHIRP .whl file first. https://archive.chirpmyradio.com/chirp_next/next-20240322/
Then open a terminal.
Change directories to your downloads folder (cd ~/Downloads or similar)
Then pipx install the .whl file you downloaded (the name changes constantly so just use tab-completion).

Let me know if you need more help.

Tony
