<p>This is a guide to installing <span class='code'>weewx</span> on macOS.</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>Install prerequisites</h2>
|
|
<p>Ensure that Python2 is installed. Python 2.6 or 2.7 will work,
|
|
but Python 3 will not.</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>python -V</pre>
|
|
<p>Install the required Python packages using easy_install:</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo easy_install pysqlite
|
|
sudo easy_install configobj
|
|
sudo easy_install Cheetah
|
|
sudo easy_install PIL
|
|
sudo easy_install pyserial
|
|
sudo easy_install pyusb
|
|
sudo easy_install pyephem</pre>
|
|
<p>Depending on the macOS and Python versions, you might have to use <span class="code">Pillow</span> instead of <span class="code">PIL</span>.</p>
|
|
<p>If the PIL or Cheetah installation fails, you might have to install xcode:</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>xcode-select --install</pre>
|
|
<p>then try the easy_install again.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Install <span class='code'>weewx</span></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>Modify <span class="code">home</span> in <span class="code">setup.cfg</span> to set the installation location to <span class="code">/Users/Shared/weewx</span></p>
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">perl -pi -e 's%^home.*%home = /Users/Shared/weewx%' setup.cfg</pre>
|
|
<p>Install:</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">python 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 /Users/Shared/weewx
|
|
./bin/weewxd weewx.conf</pre>
|
|
<p>Or as a daemon automatically when the computer starts:</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">sudo cp util/launchd/com.weewx.weewxd.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons
|
|
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.weewx.weewxd.plist</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Status</h2>
|
|
<p>To make sure things are running properly, look in the system log for messages from <span class='code'>weewx</span>. Run the <span class="code">Console</span> application and select <span class="code">All Messages</span>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty'><a href="file:///Users/Shared/weewx/public_html/index.html">file:///Users/Shared/weewx/public_html/index.html</a></pre>
|
|
<p>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>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Customize</h2>
|
|
<p>To enable uploads such as Weather Underground or to customize reports, modify the configuration file <span class='code'>/Users/Shared/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><span class='code'>weewx</span> must be restarted for configuration file changes to take effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Start/Stop</h2>
|
|
<p>To start/stop <span class='code'>weewx</span>:</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.weewx.weewxd.plist
|
|
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.weewx.weewxd.plist</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Uninstall</h2>
|
|
<p>To uninstall, simply delete the directory <span class='code'>/Users/Shared/weewx</span>. This will delete weewx, configuration files, and data.</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>rm -r /Users/Shared/weewx
|
|
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.weewx.weewxd.plist</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Layout</h2>
