I've just switched from Windows to Zorin and want to install weather station software - CumulusMX. Can anyone help me through the process. A complete novice with Linux at the moment but improving!!
The download link for the project CumulusMX is here:
https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/releases/download/b3160/CumulusMXDist3160.zip
The Source code is here:
First, you need Mono installed. To install Mono on Zorin OS:
You may first need:
sudo apt install dirmngr apt-transport-https
Next,
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-focal main'
sudo apt update && sudo apt install mono-complete
Unzip the download from the First Download Link in this post:
mv ~/Downloads/CumulusMX ~
Move the service file to its intended location:
sudo cp ~/CumulusMX/MXutils/linux/cumulusmx.service /etc/systemd/system/
Enable service:
sudo systemctl enable cumulusmx
sudo systemctl start cumulusmx
You can stop the service with:
sudo systemctl stop cumulusmx
Restart with:
sudo systemctl restart cumulusmx
Remove or add from autostart:
sudo systemctl disable cumulusmx
sudo systemctl enable cumulusmx
Looking over the source code, the program is written in C sharp which is compatible with Linux. The .dll files included are for Windows only and serve you no purpose on Zorin OS.

Many thanks for this. Followed your instructions including adding to autostart. However I can't see if those instructions worked and if so where I might find the program - any ideas?
I don't know... Since this is not a program that I have ever used.
According to the site starting the service should start the configuration window:
