Hang on. Before you do anything else: IF you use pip from the weewx root directory it will fail. The reason is that pip sees the weewx.cfg file, and tries to install there.
Change directory someplace else, say your home directory, then try to install cheetah using pip. I have probably learned this lesson, oh, 20 or 30 times. -tk On Sun, May 10, 2020 at 11:47 AM vince <vinceska...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sunday, May 10, 2020 at 11:15:24 AM UTC-7, Kenneth Sherwood wrote: >> >> Still having trouble.
