And what happens when you type:/home/phil/xtide-2.15.5/tideon the command line?Does the program run?If so, grep XTideThread in the logs and send the results.  How you look at logs will vary depending on how you have set this up (but probably journalctl).On Jun 17, 2024, at 6:52 AM, philip@gmail

If you try executing tide and it doesn’t work, you need not try anything further.  The problem is the path /home/jkline (my home directory) is hardcoded by configure.You need to be able to build xtide.  If you want to try again, and configure fails again, I can have a look.  Please [re-]confirm tha

You didn't say how you installed WeeWX, but just follow the instructions in the appropriate Quick Start Guide. See the Upgrade Guide (first section). On Mon, Jun 17, 2024 at 12:36 PM Tex Drone wrote: > I have a Raspberry Pi3 that has been running WeeWx 4

Tex if you want to use the new clean pi4 with weewx v5 it's pretty easy to do the switchover since it isn't really an upgrade * stop weewx on the new pi * copy your old database into place on the new pi * if you have a lot of years of data, copy your NOAA files over too to speed up first boo

Re: [weewx-user] Upgrade WeeWx - Best practices

Ok, that seems pretty straightforward. However, if anyone can mess this up it will be me, which is the reason I want to use a new Pi. At the moment I have roughly 5 years of data in the WeeWx db. I am using a Davis serial datalogger. Thanks for the help! On Monday, June 17, 2024 at 3:23:42

I have not been making any backups, until today. I just copied the weewx.conf, skin.conf, and weewx.sdb files. It's one of those things, I set this up in 2019 and forgot about it, it's been diligently plugging away and updating WU and CWOP. If I actually knew what I was doing, an upgrade to the e

With my Pi5 having arrived and run in for a week or so and a multitude of projects now under control, I want to start playing with WeeWx 5 (or 5.1). I plan on a fresh install on a freshly updated Reap OS installation. I expect to fiddle with it a lot, and if my past experience is anything, a

Re: [weewx-user] How important is it to do virtual environments for all installations?

The problem with installing pip into something other than a venv is that the latest versions of pip will declare an error, "*error: externally-managed-environment*". See PEP 668 . You can press on ahead with appropriate pip options, but then you run the risk of br

[weewx-user] Re: How important is it to do virtual environments for all installations?

Short answer is it is not important. You can always use the pre-packaged version with apt if you are more comfortable with that. It's not rocket science. Before you run pip or weectl you just 'source /home/pi/weewx-venv/bin/activate' and that's that. Then you're running in the venv from a co

Thank you Vince and Tom for the concise answer and way to proceed. I just didn't want to get caught chasing my tail while playing, but it sounds more tail chasing might happen if I DON'T use Venv. Thank you again for what must seem like a very basic question that all 'real' programmers would
