Looks like it's a package install of weewx so you should be able to run the wee_extension command from anywhere.
Did you run that command from /home/pi. ie did you ... cd /home/pi sudo wee_extension --install weewx-belchertown-release-1.3.1.tar.gz A good way to see if the file is actually there, besides using ls, is to use command completion (the TAB key)... type sudo wee_extension --install we<TAB> and if it exists, that <TAB> action should fill in the rest of the name. One way of ensuring the file goes where you want it to is to specify the path, or just change to that directory first.eg: cd /home/pi/Downloads pwd (to be sure, to be sure) wget The_file_you_want ls -l (to check if it is there) sudo wee_extension --install The_file_you_want Cheers Glenn Various WeeWx addons at https://github.com/glennmckechnie Cheers Glenn Various WeeWx addons at https://github.com/glennmckechnie On Sun, 5 Oct 2025 at 11:54, Dale <[email protected]> wrote: > If there is a separate Belchertown discussion, my apologies for posting > here > > I am running an installation of WeeWx 4.7.0 with a slightly modified > Seasons skin layout which this group helped make mods to allow last > rainfall and compare temps and dew point to 24 hours ago. > > > This has run well for over a year and a half. > > > I would like to add the belchertown v1.3 skin, and went to the github, and > I think followed the copy and paste to download the v1.3.1 to my Rasp Pi, > which put it in the /home/pi folder. > > > I then ran the next command indicated, and I get a traceback that > wee_extension install cannot find an extension, which I assume means the > installer cannot find the tar.gz file.
