Hello,
I have Ubuntu 18.04 64bit desktop installed on a VM server and I would like to install WD on it. I currently use WD on windows and would like to set it up on the linux VM. I don’t care to migrate the data over and I’m ok with doing a fresh install. Is there a set-by-step guide on installing WD on Ubuntu? I am new to linux and I’m a bit confused as what I need to do. Thank you!
you can use the data files and logfiles from the windows version
you just need to extract the gz file
and then copy the library files from the deploy folder where you have extracted to to /usr/lib/local/
i.e via
cd to that directory
e.g
cd ~/wdisplay/
if its in a folder called wdisplay in your home directory
then
sudo cp . /usr/local/lib/
then run it like
sudo ./weatherdisplay
from where you extracted it to
Ok thank you. I’ll give that a try and report back if I have any issues.
Another questions: Does the console version support the use of a webcam? On my windows setup, I have WD uploading data and webcam screen shot to my website. Can I do that with the console version or only the desktop version?
there is no web cam capture program for the linux versions
but you could use other software to create the image for you
So just to confirm: I cannot upload a webcam image file like in the windows version? I’m not talking about a live video feed. Just a still image.
you can via the ftp functions in the linux version
but the linux verson has not way of creating that image file
you would need some other web cam linux software to do that
