I used this procedure and the files located at the links there:

1) install weewx from .deb package.  choose the simulator as the driver.  

sudo dpkg -i weewx_X.Y.Z-R_all.deb


2) ensure that weewx is not running.

sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop

3) clone the observerip repository

git clone https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-observerip.git

4) run the extension installer

wee_extension --install weewx-observerip

5) select the observerip driver

wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.observerip

6) start weewx

sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
