Hi WetCoast,
When setting up your Arduino IDE environment, you will need to replace the default "libraries" directory it installs, with the libraries directory that comes with the WeatherDuino software. (All included in the archive you download and expanded when you extract it)
Depending upon your PC's operating system the libraries location might vary. For example for me with Windows 10, I must go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino and delete the libraries folder here. I leave this directory with no libraries folder. IF there is no other location your Arduino IDE references its libraries, then you can copy the WeatherDuino libraries directory to this same place. (Check in the IDE, File - Preferences. Sketchbook location should be a good indicator)
If your installation goes similar to mine, you will find in your Documents directory another called "Arduino" with the libraries directory there as well. Delete and replace it with the one from the WeatherDuino set. Do all of this with the IDE software closed and then start it again. You should find the missing file errors corrected.
Be careful with IDE version 1.8.8. WeatherDuino software has been reliably tested with versions 1.8.4 to 1.8.7 as noted in the software description on the first tab. Also only use AVR Board manager version 1.6.21. The higher ones are presently known to cause issues with items such as incorrect date being set.
I am not sure about your gitignore file conflict error when extracting. It is best to extract to a clean directory, then there should be no conflict errors when extracting the WeatherDuino software you downloaded.
Hope this helps
