Glad it worked! Quick way to tell how you installed it, if you have a /home/weewx folder, it's from the setup.py option. If you have an /etc/weewx folder, it's probably from apt install weewx (if on ubuntu) or yum install weewx (if on centos/redhat).
If none of those are true, then you may be on OpenSUSE or mac os or something else - these setup guides can help if needed <http://weewx.com/docs.html>.
