1. Yes I am new to Linux!
2. The file is already in the current directory that I am already in - I placed it there beforehand.


Hope that helps and look forward to hearing more details from you soon!

Best Regards,

I'm guessing you're a new Linux user perhaps (?)

If you run "sudo wee_extension --install something.tar.gz" then the file something.tar.gz has to be in the same directory you are currently cd'd into in your shell session. If it's somewhere else, you can specify "sudo wee_extension --install /some/path/here/something.tar.gz" to tell the shell where you have that file.

Read https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/absolute-path-vs-relative-path-linuxunix/ for a longer explanation.

My 'guess' in the absence of seeing what exactly you did is that you ran 'wget' in one directory and tried to run the wee_extension in another shell session in a different directory.

Try the following - I modified the wget command to tell it 'where' to download the file to.

wget https://github.com/previmeteo/weewx-previmeteo/archive/v0.1.tar.gz -O /var/tmp/weewx-previmeteo-v0.1.tar.gz

sudo wee_extension --install /var/tmp/weewx-previmeteo-v0.1.tar.gz
