Hallo Günther, What should I watch out for when installing version 4? >
Probably the biggest thing is that whilst in beta the WeeWX 4.0 install is available via setup.py only (no .rpm or .deb) so you need to manually download the package, install the pre-requisites and then install WeeWX. Also it is not advisable to install a 4.0 beta over an existing 3.x package (.deb or .rpm) due to the different locations used; a clean (WeeWX) install will be fine though. A WeeWX 4.0 setup.py install is a little more complex due to the support for python2 and python 3; choose either python 2 or 3 and follow the install instructions in the 4.0.0 docs. Not the best (links probably won't work) but you can view the 4.0.0 setup.py install instructions here <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/weewx/weewx/blob/master/docs/setup.htm>. Once you have WeeWX 4.0.0 installed on your device you can browse the 4.0.0 versions of the documents on your device (WeeWX website only shows the current release docs which at this time is still 3.9.2). > I would like to try it on another computer, whether importing from WU > works with this version. > As long as you are using 4.0.0b13 or later the WU import should be fine. wee_import shipped with WeeWX 3.x will not work as it only supported the old (now retired) WU API. wee_import in WeeWX 4.0.0 supports the new WU API. Usual caveats apply to WU; at times their data is patchy so be wary of having wee_import derive the interval field from the WU data, best to use a fixed interval value in your import config file. I would also tend to avoid importing long periods of data in one go, I would do no more than one month at a time. Also work from oldest to newest data when importing.
