Hi David,
Actually, a string of stuff that can be written into a bash script would be
great, with the preclusion that the user install git first.
So yes, it would be appreciated.

Hey Glenn,
I just tested running chirp directly from the git repository by installing the
dependencies with "pip3 install -r requirements", then running "chirpwx.py" and
orca was able to read everything to me. I'm not an expert on orca. I think the
navigation worked, but it did seem to work fine.
Let me know if you'd like help running from the git repository.
Best,
Dave

Well for accessibility, that is for the visually impaired to use Chirp, they
will need a Linux using Python 2X, and an old Chirp that will install into it.
Personally, I've not ever gotten a package of Chirp to be able to install
right from downloading a Linux package, I rely on using apt to get Chirp from a
repository.
I had to follow step by step instruction to get Chirp to install into a newer
Linux with Python 3, and I found after all that that flatpak breaks
accessibility.
So rather than putting someone through all that, I'm sure there are folks who
would gladly download a big file that they can rite to a drive and boot it up
and have Chirp working.

Shipping a complete Ubuntu installation in a VM just to have CHIRP
pre-installed seems a bit of over-kill. Typically a single line command would
install CHIRP, wouldn't it?
CHIRP is 20-40 megabytes, a full GUI install of Ubuntu is measured in
gigabytes.

Yes, installing a 3rd party package (Chirp) and distributing a VM image of
it can be considered 'modification'.

Well if it is the only someone can use Chirp, either for accessibility,
or because of operating system, I see nothing wrong with it.
I may DD my thumb drive with Ubuntu and Chirp on it, if I can find a
drive with just that on it, and give a link to anyone who wants it.
Some of my thumb drives are multiboot, with several operating systems on
it, so I'll need to go through a bunch of them to find one that has Ubuntu 18
and Chirp.

I can't imagine anyone here wants to be responsible for setting up,
distributing, and supporting a VM image of what is now outdated and no longer
supported software. I know I wouldn't want to be. There's a reason the software
is outdated, the best solution is to keep up.

What would be handy is to have a VM of Ubuntu with the old Chirp
already installed, so that can be implemented.
I am sure I have an old Ubuntu Live on a thumb drive with Chirp on it,
but I don't know if that can be made into a VM.
