Sorry guys, but this all seems to be deprecated info. There is no /home/weewx dir on my debian 12 install of weewx, and the wiki states that the executables would be under /usr/share/weewx, but they're not there. I only see some python stuff, and either way, this all means that none of the wee_* utilities commands work. I see no path to add for that, since these executables aren't there. Perhaps, also, since weewx and python have been installed using apt, not with pip (debian hates that), it may be a good idea to already *add* the required path during install, or at least prompt the user about where they are to be found.
