will this run on centos 5 ?

[Rich Painter]

Looking at the installation information I see only Centos 7 and 8 instructions.

What about Centos 5?

thanks

Probably, but you would have to try it.

on the installation page it only has links to versions for centos 7 and 8. which to try or where to get something older?

Also I found recently in the documentation that there was a "minimum" python version... the centos 5 python is less than that. so i'm guessing it isn't worth trying.

so, where to get a version to "try".

thanks

You would probably have to do a setup.py install. I doubt the packaged installs would work.

WeeWX V4 requires Python 2.7 or later. If that's not available on CentOS 5, you would have to use an older version of WeeWX, which can be found in http://weewx.com/downloads/released_versions/.

What version of Python is available?

Certainly pre-2.7 - so to try to work weewx v4 on an ancient (EOL 3.5 years ago) CentOS 5, you'd need to compile your own python, which is certainly possible, but then you'd need to install pip and pip install everything I think.

Just asking, but is it 'really' necessary to use centos-5 ?   There's a point in time where you just need to upgrade, even if it is only once per decade for CentOS.
