I've been spending the last few days customizing weewx, which I installed via apt-get. I was spending a fair amount of time jumping between directories, and getting confused about file locations. I finally bit the proverbial bullet and re-installed using setup.py so everything is contained in /home/weewx and my life just got *much* easier, both for configuring it and backing up the data.
Anyway, thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else has been getting frustrated with the directory structure after an apt-get install. And on a sidenote, is it possible for apt-get to install to the same directory tree as setup.py? Here's my installation notes in case they're useful to anyone else: Check the instructions page <http://www.weewx.com/docs/setup.htm> for dependencies you might need. You can follow the instructions there, or here's a step by step for the current version: sudo wget http://weewx.com/downloads/weewx-3.6.2.tar.gz sudo tar -xzvf weewx-3.6.2.tar.gz cd weewx-3.6.2 ./setup.py build sudo ./setup.py install You can update that URL when a new version is released from here <http://weewx.com/downloads/>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
