ok, i'm just installing now and I've come upon this line: To specify an install location different from the default /home/weewx, modify the parameter home in the setup.cfg file. Mac users will want to change it to /Users/Shared/weewx.
I'm a Mac user, largely a software idiot, but it's not clear to me why I will want to change the setup.cfg file to change from the default /home/weewx. Can I trouble one of you to explain to me why I should do it and perhaps the easiest way to modify the file, if you don't mind. Thanks very much.
