In the world of open-source hobbyist software, WeeWX is pretty easy
|
|
to install and configure. There are not many package dependencies,
|
|
the configuration is simple, and it has an extensive [*User's Guide*](../usersguide).
|
|
There are thousands of people who have successfully done an
|
|
install. However, there is no "point-and-click" interface, so
|
|
you have to be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get in
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
You should have the following skills:
|
|
|
|
- The patience to read and follow the [*User's Guide*](../usersguide);
|
|
- Willingness and ability to edit a configuration file;
|
|
- Some familiarity with Linux or other Unix derivatives;
|
|
- Know how to do simple Unix tasks like changing file
|
|
permissions and running commands;
|
|
- No programming experience is necessary unless you wish
|
|
to extend WeeWX. In this case, you should have some
|
|
familiarity with Python.
|
|
|
|
If you get stuck, there is a very active User's Group to
|
|
help, but please first try to solve the problem yourself.
