I'm trying to install the weewx-forcast-master

[David Barto]

I’m getting the following:

Magrathea:weewx$ wee_extension --install ~/weewx-forecast-master.tgz
Request to install '/Users/katherinebarto/weewx-forecast-master.tgz'
Extracting from tar archive /Users/katherinebarto/weewx-forecast-master.tgz
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/Shared/weewx/bin/wee_extension", line 82, in <module>
main()
File "/Users/Shared/weewx/bin/wee_extension", line 74, in main
ext.install_extension(options.install)
File "/Users/Shared/weewx/bin/weecfg/extension.py", line 114, in install_extension
raise InstallError("Unable to install from '%s': no common path (the extension archive contains more than a single root directory)" % extension_path)
weecfg.extension.InstallError: Unable to install from '/Users/katherinebarto/weewx-forecast-master.tgz': no common path (the extension archive contains more than a single root directory)

I don’t have any extension_path configured in my weewx.conf file and a search of the discussion archive says that the above command should work.

What, again, am I doing incorrectly?

Hi

I had a similar problem  but as the file is a zip file I tried weewx-forecast-master.zip and via wee_extension it worked.

If you are using my fork at https://github.com/chaunceygardiner/weewx-forecast

(which works with and *requires* WeeWX 4), I have updated the readme to specify .zip to avoid confusion.
