I've got weewx v3 running on Ubuntu 20.04, although I did it through pip. An embarrassing disclosure, but I don't normally follow the setup.py installation instructions. I try not to install dependencies globally, because I want as close to a "virgin" python install as possible. This makes testing more straightforward.
Instead, I use pyenv <https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv>. Then pyenv shell 2.7.18 pip install configobj pip install Cheetah pip install Pillow pip install pyserial pip install pyusb pip install ephem -tk On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 5:31 AM bob <[email protected]> wrote: > I have the same issue as Redig on Ubuntu 20.04 > > Gerg from Oz - > > sudo apt install python2 shows the latest is already installed. > sudo apt install python-minimal shows no installation candidate. > > After many hours I concluded that I wasn't going to get the required > packages for weewx3 installed and gave up. > > I did get weewx4 (development version using python3) going by going > through the compile procedure. > > > > On Wednesday, April 29, 2020 at 9:42:19 PM UTC-4, Redig wrote: >> >> I decided to set up a new server the other day and installed the latest >> Ubuntu LTS to get started.
