Steps to upgrade Weewx 3.9.2 to 4.2

[Francesco Fasano]

Hello,

I would like to upgrade my weewx version 3.9.2 to 4.2.

Is the Python version 2.7.16 okay or does it need version 3?

my weew is currently installed in / home / weewx and the same path appears in the setup.cfg file.

I downloaded version 4.2 in the / home folder and here I stopped. Could you help me with the next steps?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I have already read the update procedure, I am looking for someone to follow me step by step I have never done it.

Thanks

WeeWX version 4 will run under either Python 2 or Python 3. Sounds like you want to use Python 2. 

The directions are in the upgrade guide. Just substitute "python2" for "python3". 

Unpack the archive:
tar xvfz weewx-4.2.0.tar.gz

Change directory into it:
cd weewx-4.2.0

Build the distribution, using whatever version of Python you plan to use. In your case, Python 2:
python2 ./setup.py build
sudo python2 ./setup.py install 

These steps are exactly the same as what is in the upgrade guide.
