I prefer to use full paths when running the utilities and passing files. I would use (I run a setup.py install)
$ /home/weewx/bin/wee_extension --install=/path/to/extension_file/ steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz or for a .deb or dpkg install $ /usr/share/weewx/wee_extension --install=/path/to/extension_file/ steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz One will work and the other will error out. sudo may be needed if your user does not have sufficient privileges. Add --dry-run if you wish beforehand to check that the extension will install. If all goes well you should see something like: Request to install '/var/tmp/steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz' Extracting from tar archive /var/tmp/steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz Saving installer file to /home/weewx/bin/user/installer/SteelSeries Saved configuration dictionary. Backup copy at /home/weewx/weewx.conf. 20170320124410 Finished installing extension '/var/tmp/steelseries-2.6.3.tar.gz' with different paths/details as applicable to your install. The install will cause us to lose the gauges.js changes and maybe a few other (gauge related) things, but nothing too much.
