Helo everyone,

I got a question I have installed Ubuntu 20.04.1 to my VirtualBox where I want to run my Tempest (Smart WeatherFlow) weather station.
After installing Weewx on Ubuntu I have a problem installing the "Tempest" weather station extention. And the problem is I believe in admin right permisions, can anybody tell me how to go around it and fix it? thank you.

When I do this string in terminal i get this error:

vadas@vadas:~$ sudo wee_extension --install weatherflow-udp-master.zip
Request to install 'weatherflow-udp-master.zip'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/weewx/wee_extension", line 88, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/weewx/wee_extension", line 80, in main
    ext.install_extension(options.install)
  File "/usr/share/weewx/weecfg/extension.py", line 132, in install_extension
    raise InstallError("Extension '%s' not found." % extension_path)
weecfg.extension.InstallError: Extension 'weatherflow-udp-master.zip' not found.

When I try to do it manually :

then when i want to paste "weatherflowudp.py" to  /usr/share/weewx/user   folder then i get error message  (see picture)

First error was file not found.  Supply the whole pathname of the file.

Second error was permissions.  Use sudo when you move the file (your gui didn't do that).
