you can install an run as a non-root user if you like: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Run%20as%20a%20non%20root%20user to install as non-root user, the non-root user must have write permission on the destination (nominally /home/weewx) to run as non-root user, the non-root user must have read/write on the hardware (usb device, serial port - typically using a udev rule) and write on the archive location (nominally /home/weewx/archive) and the reports location (nominally /home/weewx/public_html) same is true for deb or rpm installs, but the locations are different. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
