the easiest way to install weewx is to follow the apt-get Debian install instructions which, if followed correctly, will ask you for station type (select simulator) and altitude etc and make the initial edits to weewx.conf for you.
You can still use wee_config though to edit the .conf for you see http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_config_utility However, if you did the install using the setup.py method you can edit weewx.conf by using the nano editor and giving the command sudo nano weewx.conf On Tuesday, 1 May 2018 12:52:48 UTC+3, Stuart Smith wrote: > > > > On Tuesday, 1 May 2018 11:19:49 UTC+2, Stuart Smith wrote: >> >> Hi Andrew, >> >> Thanks for the reply and your patience! >> >> My brother-in-law bought a raspberry pi and hooked it up to a weather >> station a couple of years back with no linux experience so guessed it would >> be easy enough for me to do, he is clearly smarter than me! :-) >> >> So, looking in the weewx.conf file there is no altitude set, i should >> probably mention that there is also a weewx.conf.dist file in the same >> location and then a second weewx.conf file in the location: >> /etc/weewx/logwatch/conf/logfiles >> >> i am still also unable to save any edits i tray and make in the conf >> files (headbang) >> >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
