<p>These are generic instructions for installing WeeWX using the Python utility
<span class="code">setup.py</span>.
</p>
<h2>Download</h2>
<p>
Download the source archive <span class='code'>weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</span> from <a href="http://weewx.com/downloads"><span class="code">weewx.com/downloads</span></a>.
</p>
<h2 id="setup_prerequisites">Install Prerequisites</h2>
<p>Ensure that Python 2 is installed. Python 2.6 or 2.7 will work,
but Python 3 will not.</p>
<pre class='tty cmd'>python -V</pre>
<p>If this does not work, then you may have to install Python 2. Instructions below.</p>
<p>Install the required python packages using the package management software for your system
(<i>e.g.</i>,
<span class='code'>apt-get</span>,
<span class='code'>yum</span>,
<span class='code'>yast</span>) or the Python Package Management System
(<span class='code'>pip</span>). Select the appropriate tab for specific instructions.</p>

<h2>Install WeeWX</h2>
<p>Expand the source archive:</p>
<pre class="tty cmd">tar xvfz weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</pre>
<p>Change directory:</p>
<pre class="tty cmd">cd weewx-X.Y.Z</pre>
<p>To specify a location different from the standard
<span class='code'>/home/weewx</span>, modify the parameter
<span class='code'>home</span> in the
<span class='code'>setup.cfg</span> file.</p>
<p>Then build and install:</p>
<pre class="tty cmd">./setup.py build
sudo ./setup.py install</pre>
<p>
The installer will prompt for a location, latitude/longitude, altitude, station type, and parameters specific to the station.
</p>
<h2>Run</h2>
<p>Run the main program directly:</p>
<pre class="tty cmd">cd /home/weewx
sudo ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf</pre>
<p>Or as a daemon automatically when the computer starts:</p>

</div>
<div id='startup' style='clear:both'>
<div id='startup-debian'>
<pre class="tty cmd">cd /home/weewx
sudo cp util/init.d/weewx.debian /etc/init.d/weewx
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/weewx
sudo update-rc.d weewx defaults 98

sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start</pre>

</div>
<h2>Status</h2>
<p>
Look in the system log for messages from WeeWX.
For example, on Debian systems:
</p>
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog</pre>
<h2>Verify</h2>
<p>
After about 5 minutes, open the station web page in a web browser. You
should see your station information and data.
If your hardware supports hardware archiving, then how long you wait
will depend on the
<a href="usersguide.htm#archive_interval">archive interval</a>
set in your hardware.
</p>
<pre class='tty'><a href="file:///home/weewx/public_html/index.html">file:///home/weewx/public_html/index.html</a></pre>
<h2>Customize</h2>
<p>
To enable uploads such as Weather Underground or to customize reports,
modify the configuration file
<span class='code'>/home/weewx/weewx.conf</span>. See the
<a href="usersguide.htm">User Guide</a> and
<a href="customizing.htm">Customization Guide</a> for details.
</p>
<p>
WeeWX must be restarted for configuration file changes to take effect.
</p>
<h2>Uninstall</h2>
<p>
To uninstall, simply delete the directory
<span class='code'>/home/weewx</span>. This will delete WeeWX,
configuration files, and data.
</p>
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo rm -r /home/weewx
sudo rm /etc/init.d/weewx</pre>
<h2>Layout</h2>
<p>The installation will place WeeWX in the
<span class="code">/home/weewx</span> directory with the following
layout: </p>
<table class='locations' style="width: auto;">
<tr>
<td align='right'>executable:</td>
