Bug #9899
closedCan't get chirp to work from the tar file
0%
Description
I'm running on a Raspberry Pi completely updated to Bullseye. ./chirpw fails because the serial module is not installed. PIP will only install the python3 serial module and that doesn't help because chirp doesn't seem to be using python3 - it complains about syntax errors. Trying to run the setup.py with python3 causes an instant fail at the first print statement - seems the format has changed from python2 to python3. The chirp code is in chirp-daily-20220602.
The old chirp for the raspberry pi os does not support the FTM-7250dr that the newer versions support. Any idea of where I can get the python2 serial module? Am I making some basic mistake?

What I do to run CHIRP on my RPi3 is to install snap version. It includes everything needed and just runs. See this "Install Chirp on Raspberry Pi":https://snapcraft.io/install/chirp-snap/raspbian page.

Thanks for the recommendation Jim :)
I know that some people are not fans of snap so I also maintain AppImages at https://github.com/goldstar611/chirp-appimage/releases
(I'm also expecting a maintenance headache ahead for chirp-snap as soon as the Ubuntu 18.04 snap is deprecated)
