Hi Jeffrey,
I did it with and without sudo.
I followed the commands exactly as they are on the chirp install page.
In fact, I copied and pasted them in an SSH session.
Thanks.

Glenn

"$ pipx install
--system-site-packages ./chirp-20250801/chirp-20250801-python3-none-any.whl"

You seem to be attempting to install pipx system-wide, without using sudo,
which probably leads to the error you see.

On my system I installed chirp as the user and did not use that option you
show.
"$ pipx install  ./chirp-20250801/chirp-20250801-python3-none-any.whl"
should work as it would install chirp under
~/.local/lib/python3.XX/site-packages instead of trying to install it under
/usr/lib/python3.XX/site-packages.

Realistically a user should never install packages using pip or pipx as a
system-wide app since some of the modules may interfere with or overwrite
those from the installed python version.
