# Running CHIRP on Linux
This page describes how to get the newer python3-based CHIRP-next running on Linux.
## Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian, etc
Install prerequisite packages:
```
$ sudo apt install git python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-serial python3-six python3-future python3-requests python3-pip
```
You should be able to install either the wheel or the tarball using `pip`:
```
$ pip3 install chirp-next-20230114.tar.gz
```
> **_NOTE:_** Your system may install `pip` as `pip3` like above, or just `pip`
If you run the above command as a regular user, the `chirp` executable will be installed into `~/.local/bin/chirp`. If you run it as root, then it will be in `/usr/local/bin/chirp` as you might normally expect.
**Optionally** You may want to install a newer wxPython, depending on what your distro ships. For Debian-derived distros (including Ubuntu and Mint) you can do that with a command like:
```
pip3 install -U -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 wxPython
```
Check the [directory listing](https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/) for other distro versions and use the closest match to what you're on.
