<p>These are generic instructions for installing

<span class="code">setup.py</span>.
</p>
<p>The installation will place <span class="code">weewx</span> in the
<span class="code">/home/weewx</span> directory with the following
layout: </p>

<h3>Install Prerequisites</h3>
<p>Ensure that Python2 is installed. Python 2.5, 2.6, or 2.7 will work,
but Python 3 will not.</p>
<p class='tty'>python -V</p>
<p>Then install required python packages using the package management
software for your system (<em>e.g.</em>, <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>

<h3>Download</h3>
<p>
Download the source archive <span class='code'>weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</span> from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/weewx/files">Sourceforge</a>
</p>
<h3>Install <span class='code'>weewx</span></h3>
<p>Expand the source archive:</p>
<p class="tty">tar xvfz weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</p>
<p>Change directory:</p>
<p class="tty">cd weewx-X.Y.Z</p>
<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>
<p class="tty">./setup.py build
sudo ./setup.py install</p>
<h3>Configure</h3>
<p>
Edit the configuration file <span class='code'>/home/weewx/weewx.conf</span>. Set at least the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>location</li>
<li>latitude</li>
<li>longitude</li>
<li>altitude</li>
<li>station_type</li>
</ul>
<p>
Also set any parameters specific to the station, such as the <span class='code'>port</span> for stations connected via serial port.
</p>
<h3>Run</h3>
<p>Run the main program from the command line:</p>
<p class="tty">cd /home/weewx
./bin/weewxd weewx.conf</p>
<p>Or as a daemon automatically when the computer starts:</p>

<div id='startup-tab-redhat' class='tab' onclick="showstartup('redhat')">Redhat <img src='logo-redhat.png' class='thumbnail' /> <img src='logo-centos.png' class='thumbnail' /> <img src='logo-fedora.png' class='thumbnail' /></div>

</div>
<div id='startup' style='clear:both'>
<div id='startup-debian'>
<p class="tty">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
</p>
</div>
<div id='startup-redhat' style='display:none'>
<p class="tty">cd /home/weewx
sudo cp util/init.d/weewx.redhat /etc/rc.d/init.d/weewx
sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/weewx
sudo chkconfig weewx on
sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/weewx start
</p>
</div>
<div id='startup-suse' style='display:none'>
<p class="tty">cd /home/weewx
sudo cp util/init.d/weewx.suse /etc/init.d/weewx
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/weewx
sudo /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /etc/init.d/weewx
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h3>Verify</h3>
<p>
After 5 minutes, open the station web page in a web browser. You should see your station information and data.
</p>
<p class='tty'><a href="file:///home/weewx/public_html/index.html">file:///home/weewx/public_html/index.html</a></p>
<h3>Status</h3>
<p>
Look in the system log for messages from <span class='code'>weewx</span>.
For example, on Debian systems:
</p>
<p class='tty'>sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog</p>
<h3>Customize</h3>
<p>
To enable uploads such as Weather Underground or to customize reports, modify the configuration file <span class='code'>/etc/weewx.conf</span>. See the <a href="usersguide.htm">User Guide</a> and <a href="customizing.htm">Customization Guide</a> for details.
</p>
<p>
<span class='code'>weewx</span> must be restarted for configuration file
changes to take effect.
</p>
<h3>Uninstall</h3>
<p>
To uninstall, simply delete the directory <span class='code'>/home/weewx</span>. This will delete weewx, configuration files, and data.
</p>
<p class='tty'>sudo rm -r /home/weewx
sudo rm /etc/init.d/weewx
