Upgrading to v4

Upgrading from prior v4 versions

Due to major and breaking changes it is recommended to start over with a new installation of the skin. After the new version is running smoothly, start from there with your customization (wiki article will follow).

Steps for upgrading

Back up your old settings and files:

(in /etc/weewx) *

• weewx.conf
• skins/Images
• skins/languages
• skins/Bootstrap

Remove the old version

• remove the config sections "HTMLPages", "Images" and "BigImages" and their contents from weewx.conf:

[StdReport]
...
   [[HTMLPages]]
      ...
   [[SmallImages]]
      ...
   [[BigImages]]
      ...

(in /etc/weewx) *

• remove skins/Images
• remove skins/languages
• remove skins/Bootstrap

(in /usr/share/weewx/bin/user) *

• remove gauges.py
• remove gaugegenerator.py
• remove translategenerator.py

Install the new version

• Download a v4 version (At the time this document was written, there is no v4 release yet, so download "master")

https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

• stop WeeWX, if running
• Install the skin with the WeeWX extension install tool
• start WeeWX and observe the log output.

On a Debian based system this could look like:

sudo systemctl stop weewx
wget -O fuzzy-archerv4.zip https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
sudo wee_extension --install fuzzy-archerv4.zip
sudo systemctl start weewx

(*) Paths may vary on your installation.
