Code in this github fork has been modified/updated from the origin to support Python3 and add functionality.
Fork is based on most recent code from origin available on 2020-04-15.
Below are instuctions for staging Raspbian, or other Ubuntu/Debian based distributions, for executing SkyWeather. Additionally instructions available from the fork origin for executing SkyWeather have been updated at the bottom of this file.
The below instructions are valid for Raspbian and Ubuntu. If you are not comfortable with using the terminal please revert to writing one of the available SD card image files to bootable media.
The below code will install all packages needed to run the SkyWeather code using Python 2.7 OR Python 3. If your wish is to use Python 3 only please omit all python-* packages and pip install* commands (i.e. Only install python3 packages and run pip3 commands).
sudo raspi-config*THIS IS A COMMENT NOT A COMMAND TO EXECUTE: USe raspi-config via terminal or the GUI to enable: camera, ssh, vnc, spi, i2c, serial port. Enabling SSH and/or VNC is optional; SSH allows remote terminal sessions, VNC allows remote GUI sessions

*THIS IS A COMMENT NOT A COMMAND TO EXECUTE: The password you set here MUST be updated in the config.py or conflocal.py file! You can answer Y for all prompts aside from the password.*
git clone https://github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Pi_SkyWeather.git cd /home/pi/SDL_Pi_SkyWeather/SkyWeatherSQL mysql -u root -p < WeatherPiStructure.sql
Make a copy of config.py as conflocal.py so that all configuration changes are saved in the event of a SkyWeather code update
cd /home/pi/SDL_Pi_SkyWeather cp config.py conflocal.py
Starting the SkyWeather.py program is done using three commands (first command used to ensure you're in the correct directory). In the case below Python 3 (python3) is used; you may use python instead (i.e. remove the number 3) to execute the code using Python 2.7
cd /home/pi/SDL_Pi_SkyWeather sudo pigpiod sudo python3 SkyWeather.py
Set up your rc.local for start on boot. Insert the following into /etc/rc.local before the exit 0 statement. This can be achieved using a text editor or vim from the terminal (i.e. sudo vim /etc/rc.local). Notice the below commands are essentially the same commands used to manually execute SkyWeather.
sudo pigpiod cd /home/pi/SDL_Pi_SkyWeather nohup sudo python3 SkyWeather.py
