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.
