With my Pi5 having arrived and run in for a week or so and a multitude of projects now under control, I want to start playing with WeeWx 5 (or 5.1).
I plan on a fresh install on a freshly updated Reap OS installation. I expect to fiddle with it a lot, and if my past experience is anything, a few complete re-installs . I've seen it mentioned that it is important to do all the WeeWx in a virtual environment. I really don't have anything important on this computer, have been pretty good at installing according to instructions for previous versions, and now wonder if it is crucial to do Venv, or just go ahead as I have? I'm seeing Tom say that Venv is a piece of cake, but until I figure stuff out (paths especially) I want to cut out anything which my interfere with learning and configuring. Am I foolish to not try to master Venv until my final install? Are there bad actors lurking under every stone which I should be more concerned about? Thanks. Dale Oh, is it OK to begin to use 5.1 as a learning and testing program? For awhile it will be just running the simulator, I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
