WeeWX is a free, open source software that is designed to allow you to collect, store, and view weather data from sensors that are connected to a computer. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install WeeWX on Clear Linux Latest.
The first step to installing WeeWX on Clear Linux latest is to run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add git
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libusb
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-groff
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-zlib
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-bzip2
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-lzma
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-pycairo
This command installs the necessary packages to build and run WeeWX.
Next, clone the WeeWX repository using the command:
git clone https://github.com/weewx/weewx.git
This will download the latest version of WeeWX into a directory named "weewx"
Next, navigate into the weewx directory
cd weewx
Then, run the installer using this command:
sudo python3 ./setup.py build
sudo python3 ./setup.py install
This will install WeeWX on your machine.
Now that WeeWX is installed, the next step is to configure it to use your weather station data.
Navigate to the configuration directory with this command:
cd /etc/weewx/
You'll find example configuration files here, including one for the type of weather station you have. You can copy one of these to a file named "weewx.conf" to use as a starting point for your configuration.
sudo cp weewx.conf.in weewx.conf
After you've created the file, open it with your preferred editor.
sudo nano weewx.conf
Configure your sensors, units, and weather services.
Finally, start WeeWX by running:
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
You can then access the WeeWX server using a web browser at http://localhost/weewx/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured WeeWX on Clear Linux Latest. You can now collect, store and view weather data from your sensors.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
