I will move the weatherstation software again to another computer, this time
|
||
|
|
a virtual one -- that means one Raspberry Pi less on the windowsill.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The installation process is also [covered in the 5.0 docs](https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/pip/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Creating the virtual environment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ sudo pacman -S python-pip
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ python -m venv ~/weewx-venv
|
||
|
|
$ source ~/weewx-venv/bin/activate
|
||
|
|
$ python -m pip install weewx
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The installation is complete, let's create the station. I like doing upgrades "from scratch"
|
||
|
|
because I can use an up-to-date configuration file -- although it is more work to add the
|
||
|
|
old changes to the new file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create the new station
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ weectl station create took 8s via 🐍 v3.12.3 weewx-venv
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Follow the instructions on the command line. Edit the freshly created configuration file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ nvim ~/weewx-data/weewx.conf
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Including my old settings and add the GW1000 configuration for the plugin that I will
|
||
|
|
soon install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installing the extensions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install the GW1000 driver:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ weectl extension install https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/releases/latest/download/gw1000.zip
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install the WDC theme:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ wget -O "/tmp/weewx-wdc.zip" https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/releases/download/v3.5.1/weewx-wdc-v3.5.1.zip
|
||
|
|
$ mkdir /tmp/weewx-wdc/
|
||
|
|
$ unzip /tmp/weewx-wdc.zip -d /tmp/weewx-wdc/
|
||
|
|
$ weectl extension install -y /tmp/weewx-wdc/
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install the XAGGS extension:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ weectl extension install https://github.com/tkeffer/weewx-xaggs/archive/master.zip
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install forecast plugin:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ wget https://github.com/chaunceygardiner/weewx-forecast/releases/download/v3.4.0b12/weewx-forecast-3.4.0b12.zip
|
||
|
|
$ weectl extension install weewx-forecast-3.4.0b12.zip
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install Systemd and udev files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ sudo sh ~/weewx-data/scripts/setup-daemon.sh
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Again, adopt configuration file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Again, to include the latest changes and themes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ nvim ~/weewx-data/weewx.conf
|
||
|
|
$ nvim ~/weewx-data/skins/weewx-wdc/skin.conf
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start WeeWX and test the configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~console
|
||
|
|
$ weewxd
|
||
|
|
~~~
|
