Trying to set up cumulusutils

Post by rich_c »

Having trouble running the command
The command when cumulusutils.exe is in the CumulusMX directory is:
.\cumulusutils.exe
The command when cumulusutils.exe is in the utils\bin directory is:
utils\bin\cumulusutils.exe
Screenshot 2021-02-11 183330.png
have followed the instruction up to the above. Tried running on pi and within windows with the same result
Cumulusmx is up and running on my pi with no problems not sure where to go from here as i am new to using pi software
have tried running each command separately only showing both option in the command attachment so you can see
Thanks

You look like you are doing the commands in /home/pi. You need to cd to the directory where CumulusMX is installed - and then run the commands.

And in linux you must use slash / not the backslash:

In the CumulusMX directory type

utils/bin/cumulusutils.exe All

@rich_c: Are you getting anywhere? If I may give some advice: as a beginner it is best to either start with only one module (e.g. top10) and see how that works out (it is less confusing because there is only one output) or start with the website with automated FTP because that gives you immediate visual feedback of how good things are going.

Do check the logfile and possibly feedback here.
