I am trying to install wewx on Raspberry PI and fail at (almost) the first hurdle. Following the instructions I get as far as the " wget - qo - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add" section and that fails with "no valid OpenPDP data found"

Any suggestions?

Hi

I think you need an upper case letter O not a lower case o after the q

And it should be -qO no space after the dash and you need a dash at the end.

Best bet is to copy and paste the entry directly from the WeeWX installation instructions.

wget -qO - https://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add -

Hi Perhaps I spoke too soon...

Whilst your suggestion didn't return an error (Thanks again) "sudo apt-get install weewx" started normally but finally produced "E: Unable to locate package weewx"

Please re-read the top of http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm

There are 'four' commands you need to run.

Under 'configure apt':

* run the command under 'Tell your system to trust weewx.com'

* run the command under 'For Debian10 and later, use python3'

Under 'Install':

* run the first command there

* run the second command there

You didn't run all four commands.
