Hi,
I have tried to install weewx on my upgraded UbuntuStudio 20.04LTS OS (debian based) system. It does not install as there appears to be some python related roadblocks due to new OS's config wrt python software not being included as it was under 18.04LTS.

Has there been a fix or workaround for this recommended; does anyone know ?
Thanks
73 & good DX
Andy

I run Ubuntu 20.04 as well. Python 3 was included, Python 2 is not. What happens if you do

python -V

-tk

Well, you can run with that.

Or, install python 3:

sudo apt install python3

-tk

Hi

I have installed weewx 4 on Ubuntu 20.04 without any problems. I have tried both the Debian package and the install.py method. I just followed the installation guide. It was a clean install, not an upgrade.

Used Debian 10 install method using python3 and weewx (4.0.0-1) appearts to have installed OK now

thanks for the tips everyone.

Andy
