Installation Tips:

WINDOWS TIPS:

CHIRP is supported on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8.1/10/11

Windows XP users may need to follow the instructions here if you have trouble starting CHIRP.

MAC OSX TIPS:

MacOS users must install the KK7DS Python runtime before the application will execute. This only needs to be installed once. OS X support is limited to Intel architecture. PowerPC is not supported.

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 TIPS:

Most modern distributions should have almost everything required to run chirp. Make sure you have python-serial and python-lib-xml2 packages installed. For more information about using CHIRP under Linux, see the Running Under Linux page
