Two things you need to adjust, based on that "command not found" error.
The executable is not in the PATH system / user variable, so you can add to
your users $HOME/.bash_provilfe
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/your/app/bin"
Furthermore depending if you are on v4 or v5 the commands change to install
extensions
# Install Extensions (WeeWX 4.x)
./${WEEWX_PATH}/bin/wee_extension --install /tmp/${WEEWX_MQTT_ARCHIVE}
./${WEEWX_PATH}/bin/wee_extension --install
/tmp/${WEEWX_INTERCEPTOR_ARCHIVE}
# Install Extensions (WeeWX 5.x)
./${WEEWX_PATH}/bin/weectl extension install /tmp/${WEEWX_MQTT_ARCHIVE}
./${WEEWX_PATH}/bin/weectl extension install
/tmp/${WEEWX_INTERCEPTOR_ARCHIVE}
If you are interested, but still on v4 for now, I packaged everything into
a nice Docker image, since I couldn't use the other Docker image available,
but you need to build it yourself using Docker / Podman, so not so sure how
much familiar you are with those:

It doesn't have to be with Docker.
But if you do without, it's up to you to adjust the system PATH accordingly
as well as activating the venv PRIOR to executing the program.
And, starting with Debian Bookworm and probably the latest Ubuntu, you get
these messages if pip tries to install into the system path, so you must
use a venv (or disable that warning, although i do NOT suggest that).
Hope this helps !
