Luc - yes. It is still a few limited steps. About a half dozen if you use
pip on a pi using 32-bit RaspiOS. Fewer if you use a pre-packaged weewx or
a different os.
The underlying problem you ran into is the underlying pi 32-bit os not
having a usually available python library. Not weewx's fault.
Example - it takes 'two' steps to install using debian/bullseye64 in
Vagrant:
sudo apt-get install -y gcc python3-pip
python3 -m pip install weewx --user
And then you do the normal configuration.
Tom - I did my stuff using 2022-09-22-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.img
updated to current patchlevels before installing weewx. I see there are
newer 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.img.xz and
2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64-lite.img.xz available but I didn't try
those.
Luc - cat /boot/issue.txt to see which image you started with. That seems
to persist across updates FWIW.
