Legacy Stable Release¶
Version 0.4.1 was released on 8-October-2014. The release test report shows what was tested for each model (and thus what is expected to work). The feature matrix for each supported model (as generated from the code) is available here.
Daily builds¶
Daily builds are generated automatically as changes are put into the source code repository. These builds contain the latest fixes, features, and model support. They are recommended for all users at this point.
The daily build repository contains builds for Windows and MacOS, as well as source snapshots for use on Linux. Click here to find the latest version.
Live CD¶
A Linux-based LiveCD is available with CHIRP pre-installed. This will boot on almost any system and provide a highly-compatible CHIRP environment without the need for fussing with a driver. It will not modify your system in any way.
CHIRP Downloads¶
NOTE: We are transitioning to rolling releases. For the best results, please download the current daily build!

Install notes¶
Windows¶
1 CHIRP is supported on Windows XP/Vista/7/8.
2 Windows XP users may need to follow the instructions here if you have trouble starting CHIRP.
Mac OS X¶
3 MacOS users must install the KK7DS Python runtime before the application will execute. This only needs to be installed once.
4 OS X support is limited to Intel architecture. PowerPC is not supported.
5 Chirp.app is unsigned. With default security settings, you will need a special procedure to run it: Application Security in 10.9.
More useful tidbits can be found at MacOS Tips.
Linux¶
6 Most modern distributions should have almost everything required to run chirp. Make sure you have python-serial and python-libxml2 packages installed. For more information about using CHIRP under Linux, see the Running Under Linux page
