Interesting. That made me go and have a look at the installation page on the main site, and follow the example links. In particular the deb and set-up ones.
http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#installing The linked pages outline the terminal commands used to install the package, but don't list the required command to fetch the package in the first instance. An added bonus would be that'd the downloaded package would be available in the same terminal as the installation commands that follow. The apt-get page at http://weewx.com/docs/apt-get.htm does this, For the deb - dpkg - page, two examples would be wget http://weewx.com/downloads/weewx_x.x.x-x_all.deb or... curl -o weewx_3.6.2-1_all.deb http://weewx.com/downloads/weewx_3.6.2-1_all.deb It would probably make sense, as well as being helpful and consistent, to add at least one of those command examples to those pages. (wget, and even curl, should be available on all distros) Someone should contact the boss(es) and make the suggestion :-)) (Flunky alert here.) Seeing as I'm here - Note to Andy, Glad it worked!
