Any time we make a change to CHIRP, a build is created for it the next day. Thus, CHIRP is versioned by the date on which it was created, which makes it easy to determine if you have an older build. We don't put experimental things into CHIRP before they are ready, except where specifically called out with a warning. Thus, you do not need to worry about finding a stable version to run. *You should always be on the latest build available.* *Upgrading*: You do _NOT_ need to uninstall an existing version of CHIRP before installing a newer one. Just install the new one and it will replace the existing copy! However, _be sure to quit CHIRP before installing the new version!_ ## CHIRP-next This has the latest and greatest set of features and fixes. Drivers that have *not* been validated with CHIRP-next are denoted by an asterisk (*) symbol on the supported model list on the [[Home]] page. This is the only version of CHIRP that is actively maintained. All users should be running the latest version of CHIRP. **<a href="https://archive.chirpmyradio.com/download?stream=next" class="chirp-download-link">Download **[Download the latest CHIRP-next build here</a>** here](https://archive.chirpmyradio.com/download?stream=next)** System requirements for CHIRP-next: * Windows 10 and later (64-bit) * macOS Big Sur and later (universal binary with Intel and Apple Silicon support) * Linux (all modern distros with python3, [[ChirpOnLinux|details here]]) ## CHIRP-legacy The "legacy" build of chirp contains support for some drivers that are not yet fixed in CHIRP-next due to ongoing development efforts. However, it no longer receives any updates, including new models, bug fixes, etc. If you have a radio that does not work in CHIRP-next because it requires attention, you may choose to run the older legacy version as a temporary measure. However, please report a bug if your radio does not work with -next and help us get it converted. Windows users may want to download the `.zip` file and keep it separate from their installed version of CHIRP-next. **It is not advised to use CHIRP-legacy unless you have a specific reason to do so.** <a href="https://archive.chirpmyradio.com/chirp_daily/legacy-20221217/" class="chirp-download-link">Download [Download the legacy build here</a> here](https://archive.chirpmyradio.com/chirp_daily/legacy-20221217/) System requirements for CHIRP-daily: * Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Older versions of Windows are *not* supported * macOS Intel and Apple Silicon, but requires installation of Python 2.7 * Linux via flatpak ### Translators and Developers There is extensive documentation about the development and contribution process located at [[Developers]]
