What was the error message you got when you tried installing the packages
in section 2 of my instructions?
Yes you need pil or pillow, it is the same as py37-pillow I listed.
Pip should be your last resort to install any packages and you should
always use the native compiled binaries if your system offers it. Also,
you dont need the serial or usb packages if you intend to use the
interceptor driver.
I confirmed that the packages listed are available as binaries to be
installed with the pkg command in a FreeBSD 12.0 release jail. To confirm,
are you trying to install the missing packages in a running jail? Also, to
install any binary packages you need to run the *pkg* command as *su*
So start over by uninstalling all the packages you installed with pip,
*pip uninstall* <packagename>
Now type *pkg search py37-cheetah*
If it shows the following result then it is available to install
*py37-cheetah3-3.2.4 HTML template engine for Python*
Now you type *pkg install py37-cheetah*
And so on to install all the packages.
On first run you configure weewx to run with the simulator driver. This
allows you to confirm that weewx is working. Once you get to that point
we'll try to get the interceptor driver working
