<h2>Support</h2>
<p>
In the world of open-source hobbyist software, weeWX is pretty easy
to install and configure. There are not many package dependencies,
the configuration is simple, and it has an extensive User's Guide.
There are thousands of people who have successfully done an
install. However, there is no "point-and-click" interface, so
you have to be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get in
there.
</p>
<p>You should have the following skills:</p>
<ul>
<li>The patience to read and follow the <a href="../docs/usersguide.htm">User's Guide</a>;</li>
<li>Willingness and ability to edit a configuration file;</li>
<li>Some familiarity with Linux or other Unix derivatives;</li>
<li>Know how to do simple Unix tasks like changing file
permissions and running commands;</li>
<li>No programming experience is necessary unless you wish
to extend weeWX. In this case, you should have some
familiarity with Python.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you get stuck, there is a very active User's Group to
help, but please first try to solve the problem yourself.</p>
<h2>Wiki</h2>
<p>
The wiki content is contributed by weeWX
users. It contains suggestions and experiences with different
types of hardware, skins, extensions to weeWX,
and other useful tips and tricks summarized from the Forums.
