Yes, but we have seen instances where people have installed both ways and are only running one currently.
Matthew reminded me a while back that the only way to know which one is 'running' is to look for the pathname of the weewxd that is currently running. I'd do it by looking with the 'ps' command for the weewxd processs. # this one is setup.py root@debian:~# ps axu|grep weewxd|grep -v grep root 13327 45.7 55.3 201136 68276 ? Sl Jun27 81488:50 /usr/local/bin/python3 /home/weewx/bin/weewxd --daemon --pidfile=/var/run/weewx.pid /home/weewx/weewx.conf # this one is running the packaged weewx [vince@pi4 ~]$ ps axu | grep weewxd|grep -v grep root 581 0.8 0.5 189068 20712 ?
