Assuming you followed the excellent documentation:
First, either delete or rename ~/weewx-venv
Then:
# Create the virtual environment
python3 -m venv ~/weewx-venv

How do I do that?
I just did a quick search but it doesn't say how to recreate only to create
venv.
Thanks

After the install, please remember to recreate venv. ;)

I just did:
pip install locales ( I was trying pip install locale (without the
s))!!!!!!! Now it tells me when weewx starts I have a locale.
But I am still getting the same error. I have restarted weewx.
Changed lang/en.conf to use AU but still get the error.

My bad.
Using GAI, it says that it may be due to python3 not having the locale
library installed.
Try going to chatgpt.com and entering the error string:
weewx.cheetahgenerator: **** Reason: cannot find 'locale'
Cheers!

No, it is there. It is probably not in the pip environment? I am not a
programmer. :)

Hi,
I have spent a few days trying to work this out.
I might have to reinstall a fresh weewx system but I want to avoid that if
possible.
What I have done is installed the fuzzy-archer skin and have that running
(sort of) as it updates the website with the weather data but it comes up
with this error.

I have tried to change the lang/en.conf file in the Bootstrap directory.
Failed.
Change the locale on the server. Failed.
Added Environment=LANG=en_AU.utf8 to systemd weewx service. Failed.
Looked at weewx documentation. Tried a few things there. Failed.
I just cannot work out why it is doing this error.
I want to change menus on the web page but because of this locale problem
it won't let me do that either.
Anyone have any ideas about this one?
Thanks in advance. I hope it is something simple.
