Macos installation

[Dan Jones]

Hi

I am trying to install Weewx on my mac

I am using pipenv, and the python_version = "3.9"

I have followed the instructions, and when I get to:

cd /Users/Shared/weewx 

sudo python3 ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf

I get the following error

/Users/mbp/.local/share/virtualenvs/weewx-qjcRhtQ2/bin/python: can't open file '/Users/mbp/gitRepo/weewx/./bin/weewxd': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

my /Users/shared/weewx/bin folder doesn't contain any executibles.

Is there something I am missing?

Lots of missing information here.

First, how did you install? Did you run setup.py? What did you use for setup.cfg?

What is in /Users/Shared/weewx? Give us the results of

ls -l /Users/Shared/weewx

ls -l /Users/Shared/weewx/bin

-tk

Yep, sorry , mea culpa

was run following these instructions:

https://www.weewx.com/docs/macos.htm

and using 'pipenv run python setup.py install'

setup.cfg is :

[install]
home = /Users/Shared/weewx
prefix =
exec-prefix =
install_lib = %(home)s/bin
install_scripts = %(home)s/bin

[egg_info]
tag_build =
tag_date = 0

ls -l /Users/Shared/weewx

For some reason, you're missing all your executables (not just weewxd). 

I am not familiar with pipenv (I use pyenv). I find it curious that the pipenv version of Python went looking for weewxd in '/Users/mbp/gitRepo/weewx/./bin/weewxd', which, presumably, is in a git repository. Where did it get that idea?

I'm just fishing here, but perhaps the executables got installed in the virtual environment? Perhaps in /Users/mbp/.local/share/virtualenvs/weewx-qjcRhtQ2/bin?

Maybe this is standard behavior for pipenv, maybe it's not. If it is, I wouldn't bother running setup.py: just run everything from whatever directory you unpacked the tar file. Setup.py isn't really necessary. For example, if you're familiar with git, and if you keep repos in ~/gitRepo, you could clone weewx into ~/gitRepo (if you haven't done that already), and run weewx from there. Here's an example:

cd ~/gitRepo

# If you don't already have weewx, clone it:

git clone https://github.com/weewx/weewx.git

cd weewx

# Check out the current release:

git checkout v4.8.0

pipenv run python ./bin/wee_config --reconfigure

pipenv run python ./bin/weewxd

There are many other alternatives. The point being that because WeeWX is pure python, nothing needs to be compiled. You can run it from anywhere.

Or, maybe I don't understand pipenv and none of this is necessary.
