<h1 class="title">Quick start guide for Debian (Ubuntu) systems</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This guide is to get you quickly started using <span class="code">weewx</span> on Debian systems,
|
|
particularly Ubuntu.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Prerequisites</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Install the required libraries:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-configobj <br />
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-serial <br />
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-cheetah <br />
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-imaging <br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you wish to install the optional package <a href="http://rhodesmill.org/pyephem"><span class="code">pyephem</span></a> for
|
|
extended almanac information, then add:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-dev <br />
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-pip <br />
|
|
sudo pip install pyephem <br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Installing</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Download the tar ball from the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/weewx"><span class="code">weewx</span> homepage on Sourceforge</a>, then unpack (substitute your version for X.Y.Z) into any
|
|
convenient directory where you have write permission
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
tar xvf weewx-X.Y.Z
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Change directory into it:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
cd weewx-X.Y.Z
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then build and install:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
./setup.py build <br />
|
|
sudo ./setup.py install
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This will install <span class="code">weewx</span> into its default directory <span class="code">/home/weewx</span>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Configure</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Edit the configuration file <span class="code">/home/weewx/weewx.conf</span>.
|
|
Pay particular attention to which serial port your weather station uses (option <span class="code">port</span>), the archive interval (option <span class="code"> archive_interval</span>), and the altitude of your station (option <span class="code">altitude</span>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then run the configuration program to configure your hardware:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
/home/weewx/bin/configure.py /home/weewx/weewx.conf --configure
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Running</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now you can either run the main program from the command line:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
/home/weewx/bin/weewxd.py /home/weewx/weewx.conf
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Or, if you prefer to run as a daemon, then do the following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">
|
|
sudo cp /home/weewx/start_scripts/Debian/weewx /etc/init.d
|
|
<br />
|
|
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/weewx
|
|
<br />
|
|
sudo update-rc.d weewx defaults 98
|
|
<br />
|
|
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
|
|
</p>
|
|
