<h3>Download</h3>
<p>
Download the package <span class='code'>weewx_X.Y.Z-R.deb</span> from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/weewx/files">Sourceforge</a>.
</p>
<h3>Install</h3>
<p>
Install by double-clicking the .deb file, or via command line:
</p>
<p class='tty'>sudo dpkg -i weewx_X.Y.Z-R.deb</p>
<p>
If dpkg complains about dependency problems, use <span class="code">apt-get</span> to resolve the dependencies and complete the installation:
</p>
<p class='tty'>sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install</p>
<p>
The installer will prompt for a location, latitude/longitude, altitude, station type, and parameters specific to the station.
</p>
<h3>Verify</h3>
<p>
After 5 minutes, open the station web page in a web browser. You should see your station information and data.
