Getting a tad fed up with Wunderground and trying to move over to WeatherCloud.

I have weeWX installed and running and updated on a Raspberry Pi currently uploading to Wunderground, no issues.

I followed the instructions on the WeatherCloud site to install alongside weeWX (here) but after trying to install the file on my RPi I get the following error:

pi@weewx:~ $ wee_extension --install weewx-wcloud-x.y.tgz
Request to install 'weewx-wcloud-x.y.tgz'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/wee_extension", line 83, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/wee_extension", line 75, in main
    ext.install_extension(options.install)
  File "/usr/share/weewx/weecfg/extension.py", line 124, in install_extension
    raise InstallError("Extension '%s' not found." % extension_path)
weecfg.extension.InstallError: Extension 'weewx-wcloud-x.y.tgz' not found.

Anyone got an idea of how to overcome the installation error, I am no expert on 'things' LINUX?

Hi,

You need to replace x.y in the command you are using to install with the version number in the install file you downloaded. The current version appears to be 0.11 so try:

$ wee_extension --install weewx-wcloud-0.11.tgz

Using x.y or x.y.z is a common shorthand used to indicate you need to replace the letters with the version you are using. Saves a bit of work continually updating (and may be getting them out of date) instructions.

Thanks for getting back to me.  Looks like the link is down so unable to download it!

Has anyone got a copy of the tarball?

Just asking, you never know.

Here it is. Not sure what version it is.
weewx-wcloud-x.y.tgz

It is v.0.11 (know by peeking inside the tar file)

Could be any one of a number of things. Need to see the exact command being issued and the exact error message. Text based screen captures are best. Also what is the full path to the downloaded extension archive file.

Make sure when you type weewx-wcloud-x.y.tgz that you change the .x.y.tgz to the actual version or whatever the Weather Cloud file is named.
