To install the SteelSeries Gauges extension using wee_extension you need to 
download steelseries-2.7.4.tar.gz package. You can usually download and install 
an extension from a repo zip file but in this case you can’t. The reason being 
the WeeWX SteelSeries skin files are maintained in the SteelSeries Weather 
Gauges repo (https://github.com/mcrossley/SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges) which 
contains the SteelSeries Weather Gauges source code as well as the files 
required by each of the SteelSeries Weather Gauges  supported PWS software 
packages. The WeeWX installation of the SteelSeries Weather Gauges from this 
repo is a manual process and does not provide an extension package for use with 
wee_extension. In order to provide an extension package I decided to create a 
separate repo that tracks just the package installer with the necessary 
SteelSeries Weather Gauges files included but not tracked in the repo(I have no 
access to the SteelSeries Weather Gauges repo other than public access and I 
don’t believe it appropriate to expect the SteelSeries Weather Gauges repo 
owner to maintain a WeeWX extension package). Unfortunately, by default github 
includes a zip of the repo in any releases but in this case the zip cannot be 
used as it is missing the core SteelSeries Weather Gauges code. I believe this 
zip can be removed through a git setting, will look into that.

Suffice to say that if you follow the instructions either in the WeeWX wiki, 
the SteelSeries Weather Gauges repo or the SteelSeries extension repo the 
SteelSeries skin will be installed correctly.
