Re: [weewx-user] Re: Version 3.6.1

I was installing on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.  I was using the 
Chromium browser to read the Docs, and just clicked the Download file link 
in the instructions page. Then copied the tar command from the instruction 
page and pasted into the command window.

In the course of researching  this issue, when I got the error on the Pi, I 
tried the same on another  system running Ubuntu with the same results. 
Then I used the "file" command for more info and got ...
graham@graham-Nuc:~/Downloads$ file  weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz
weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

No report of Zip compression was displayed above. If I use the "file" 
command on another file that is zipped, then file reports on the Zip 
compression.  Then went back to the Pi system and removed the "z" option 
from the tar command and things progressed nicely.

I am new to weewx, and just installed the Python utility setup.py version 
using file weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz from the downloads page. I have it running 
sucessfully (Yay!), but there seems to be a discrepancy in the Users Guide 
vs the downloaded source archive file compression.

Doc file: http://www.weewx.com/docs/setup.htm says to "Expand the source 
archive" with:

tar xvfz weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz

Note the "z" option in the tar command, but the "weewx-3.6.1.tar.gz" file 
appears to not have zip compression applied, and an error is generated.

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Once I removed the "z" option from the tar command, things progressed much 
better, and weewx now seems to be running fine.   Thanks!
