Yes there are too many instructions on how to install weewx you just have to find the right one. :-)
That's why I wrote a script to install apache2 then all the python3 stuff I need and then install weewx. I can build a server and then just run the script which also creates the user weewx and gives the mysql permissions etc so it just works for me and I don't have to go and try to remember how I installed it last time.
