Weewx version 5 installation

[Francesco Fasano]

Good morning,
Congrats on the update to weewx 5,
if I may I would like to ask if anyone managed to update weewx version 5 from 4.10.2 having installed with the old setup.py method.
I tried to follow the steps in the guide but it didn't work.
Has anyone done this update? What are the precise steps to take?
Thank you

You are not providing very much information. You say you "tried to follow the steps in the guide but it didn't work". What steps in what guide? What happened other than it did not work?

Did you read the Upgrading to V5.0 section of the Upgrade Guide? This is mandatory reading when (before) upgrading to version 5. The sub-section pip installs to a new location actually provides a link to a wiki article titled Migrating setup.py installs to Version 5.0, did you work through those steps? If not perhaps you should try them, if you did what happened?

Gary

Hi Gary, and thanks for the reply. I read all the guides and followed all the instructions step by step but in the end after the command in the virtual environment python3 - m pip install weewx I have the following error

python3 -m pip install weewx

[Tom Keffer]

The library "Pillow" is required by WeeWX. Normally, it is downloaded and installed automatically by pip, but it appears that pip cannot find a prebuilt Pillow library. This can be for a variety of reasons, but it's usually as simple as an outdated copy of pip. It can also be because you are running on an unusual operating system or hardware, but it appears that you are on a Raspberry Pi, which is very common. So, odds are the problem is just that your copy of pip is not up to date. For details, see the wiki article Troubleshooting pip installs.

As suggested in the article, try updating pip

# Activate your virtual environment:

source /home/pi/weewx-venv/bin/activate

# Update pip

python3 -m pip install pip --upgrade

# Now try installing Pillow:

python3 -m pip install Pillow

If that works, then proceed with installing weewx.

Thanks Tom,
for the answer to tell the truth I'm carrying out tests on a virtual machine with Raspberry operating system with virtual box it could probably be as you say that there is some unusual hardware.
I have a Raspberry Model 3 B+ and I performed my first installation with setup.py. Over time I updated Python to 3.9 and always updated Weewx.
the weewx installation in my case is located in /home
so if I didn't misunderstand I should do the following steps
1 - sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip -y
sudo apt install python3-venv -y
(do I have to do them from the home folder?)

2 - # Create the virtual environment
python3 -m venv ~/weewx-venv
# Activate the WeeWX virtual environment
source ~/weewx-venv/bin/activate
# Install WeeWX into the virtual environment

python3 -m pip install weewx

3 - weewxd --config=/home/weewx/weewx.conf

4 - # systems with systemd
# This will run weekx as you, not root. If you prefer to run as
# the root user, modify the weewx.service file.
sudo cp /home/weewx/util/systemd/weewx.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable weewx
sudo systemctl start weewx

5 - How do I start weewx version 5 when starting raspberry? with this? sudo sh ~/weewx-data/scripts/setup-daemon.sh


This is what I understood from the guide

No, these are system installs, so they can be done anywhere.

2 - # Create the virtual environment
python3 -m venv ~/weewx-venv
# Activate the WeeWX virtual environment
source ~/weewx-venv/bin/activate
# Install WeeWX into the virtual environment

5 - How do I start weewx version 5 when starting raspberry? with this? sudo sh ~/weewx-data/scripts/setup-daemon.sh

I'm not sure what instructions you are following there, but the service file /etc/systemd/system/weewx.service will cause weewx to start when the system starts.

[Francesco Fasano]

Point 5 refers to running weewx as a daemon.
Apart from point 5, can you confirm that the points from number 1 to number 4 are fine?

[Tom Keffer]

They look ok.

I don't wish to sound cranky, but we put a lot of time into making the install instructions bulletproof. Just follow the pip install instructions. If you have a failure, then come back and show us what happened.

Thank you, I don't doubt your excellent work but you know sometimes insecurity creates doubts.
I'll try to do it and update you.
A thousand thanks

Francesco this error came up during beta testing if you search the group archives. My recollection is you might need to install the pip module ‘wheel’ in your step 2 after activating the virtual environment.

[Francesco Fasano]

Good morning,
I followed the steps in the guide and I get this error

python3 -m pip install weewx

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

This is not a weewx issue, it is related to the extension, but  a user error: read the friendly manual for the extension: https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt

Use pip to install paho-mqtt, as this is a prerequisite.

[Francesco Fasano]

 sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

Requirement already satisfied: paho-mqtt in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.5.1)

[Francesco Fasano]

is already installed

[michael.k...@gmx.at]

Did you activate the venv before doing so?

[Francesco Fasano]

yes

[vince]

You have to install the paho-mqtt module into the venv after activating it. 

source /home/pi/weewx-venv/bin/activate

pip3 install paho-mqtt

An issue that someone here can help with - upgrade problem that made me revert back - ? 

I have a custom version of weewx that I attempoted to upgrade from 4.10.2 to 5.0.0.

I simply used

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

then answered "no" to all the questions about keeping using the new configuration files.

It works perfectly except I have one problem. I need all logging to be in weewx.log (instead of syslog) and in a different directory instead of var/log. In previous updates I had searched my entire system for every instance of weewx.conf and updated all of them wherever they have var/log and var/log/syslog to the other directory and the name weewx.log. None of those changes to every weewx.conf file made any difference - and my config file still said 4.10.2 (why)?

Since I could not figure out how to keep my logging in the same weewx.log in a different directory that var/log, I just did a full restopre to my system so I now have the old systrem Working perfectly but not upgraded.

I want to get to 1.5 - but need the logging in weewx.log onlyand that file should be in a diffrerent directory - and to keep my same configuration but show and be actually 5.0.0 in stationregistry. How do I do that properly?

[vince]

Under weewx-data/rsyslog there is a weewx.conf for rsyslog so just edit that as desired for where you want it to go before putting it into place and restarting rsyslog.

[vince]

oops - weewx-data/util/rsyslog of course there.

[Kruse Ludington]

Thank you - I must have overloooked one!
