<h2>Download</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Download the source archive <span class='code'>weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</span> from <a

<div id='prereq-py2' class="tab-content">
|
|
<p>Ensure that Python 2.7 is installed. Earlier versions will not work.</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>python -V</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Make sure that <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip">pip</a> has been installed on your system. If not,
|
|
it may be as simple as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo easy_install pip</pre>
|
|
<p>Now install the required Python packages using pip.</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo pip install pysqlite
|
|
sudo pip install configobj
|
|
sudo pip install Cheetah
|
|
sudo pip install PIL
|
|
sudo pip install pyserial
|
|
sudo pip install pyusb
|
|
# For extended almanac information (optional):
|
|
sudo pip 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 pip install again.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div id='prereq-py3' class="tab-content">
|
|
<p>Ensure that Python 3.5 or later is installed.</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>python3 -V</pre>
|
|
<p>If not, Python 3 can be installed using <a href="https://brew.sh/">Homebrew:</a></p>
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">brew install python</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>This will also install pip3, the Python 3 version of <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip">pip</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Now install the required Python packages using pip3.</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo pip install configobj
|

sudo pip install Cheetah3
|
|
sudo pip install Pillow
|
|
sudo pip install pyserial
|
|
sudo pip install pyusb
|
|
# For extended almanac information (optional):
|
|
sudo pip install pyephem</pre>
|
|
<p>If the Cheetah3 or Pillow installation fails, you might have to install xcode:</p>
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>xcode-select --install</pre>
|
|
<p>then try the pip3 install again.</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>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>

The installer will prompt for a location, latitude/longitude, altitude, station type, and parameters specific to the
|

<h2>Run</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Run the main program directly:</p>
|
|
<div id="run-tabs" class="tabs" style="width:95%; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">
|
|
<nav>

|
</nav>
|
|
<div id="run-py2" class="tab-content">

|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">sudo cp /Users/Shared/weewx/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 WeeWX. 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.
|
|
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.

<pre class='tty'><a href="file:///Users/Shared/weewx/public_html/index.html">file:///Users/Shared/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'>/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>WeeWX must be restarted for configuration file changes to take effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Start/Stop</h2>
|
|
<p>To start/stop WeeWX:</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>
|
|
|
