Geoff I would suggest 1. Start your pi again from the beginning with a fresh debian install 2. I use the setup method, many others use the .deb method - the only difference is in where things get put and what you are comfortable using 3. Get Cumulus out of your head for now!! Cumulus is for windows, weewx is for Linux. Only try and run windows software on Linux when you are more familiar with Linux (and the rpi)
Above all else - do not try and run before you can walk, and read, read and re-read the documentation - or even print it out so that you have something you can just 'flick through' and mark-up with your comments and reminders.
