weectl extension install ~/Downloads/weewx-steelseries-master.zip

[philip....@gmail.com]

Hi

Using a Pi5 with a clean install of all software (Debian 12 bookworn).

Loaded weewx v5.0.2 using Installation on Debian based systems all OK

Then tried loading extensions using weectl which all worked OK until I tried

weectl extension install ~/Downloads/weewx-steelseries-master.zip.

It failed with

 weectl extension install ~/Downloads/weewx-steelseries-master.zip
Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
Install extension '/home/phil/Downloads/weewx-steelseries-master.zip' (y/n)? y

Just wondered what I may have done wrong

Thanks

You haven't done anything wrong.

For some reason, the SteelSeries repository is missing the skin! 

I will follow up with Gary.

Tldr, but you cannot install the weewx-steelseries extension direct from Github. You need to download the latest release package from the releases tab and install from the package file.
