| 3 | This page describes how to get the newer python3-based CHIRP-next running on Linux. |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | ## Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian, etc |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Install prerequisite packages: |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | ``` |
||
| 10 | $ sudo apt install git python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-serial python3-six python3-future python3-requests python3-pip |
||
| 11 | ``` |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | You should be able to install either the wheel or the tarball using `pip`: |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | ``` |
||
| 16 | $ pip3 install chirp-next-20230114.tar.gz |
||
| 17 | ``` |
||
| 18 | > **_NOTE:_** Your system may install `pip` as `pip3` like above, or just `pip` |
||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | 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. |
||

| 22 | **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: |
||
| 23 | ``` |
||
| 24 | pip3 install -U -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 wxPython |
||
| 25 | ``` |
||
| 26 | 3 | Dan Smith | 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. **NOTE** that this will not work for non-x86_64 machines (like the Raspberry Pi) as there are no binary builds for those platforms. |
