wego is a weather client for the terminal.
Features
- show forecast for 1 to 7 days
- nice ASCII art icons
- displayed info (metric or imperial units):
- temperature range (felt and measured)
- windspeed and direction
- viewing distance
- precipitation amount and probability
- ssl, so the NSA has a harder time learning where you live or plan to go
- multi language support
- config file for default location which can be overridden by commandline
- Automatic config management with ingo
Dependencies
- A working Go
1.5 environment (You can use
goenv if your distribution does not
support Go 1.5 yet) - utf-8 terminal with 256 colors
- A sane monospaced font containing all the required runes (I use
dejavu sans mono) - An API key for the backend (see Setup below)
Installation
To install or update the wego binary into your $GOPATH as usual, run:
go get -u github.com/schachmat/wego
Setup
- Run
wegoonce. You will get an error message, but the.wegorcconfig file
will be generated in your$HOMEdirectory (it will be hidden in some file
managers due to the filename starting with a dot). - With a forecast.io account (new default)
- Create your account on https://developer.forecast.io/register
- Update the following
.wegorcconfig variables to fit your needs:
backend=forecast.io location=40.748,-73.985 forecast-api-key=YOUR_FORECAST.IO_API_KEY_HERE - With an Openweathermap account
- You can create an account and get a free API key by signing up
- Update the following
.wegorcconfig variables to fit your needs:
backend=openweathermap location=New York owm-api-key=YOUR_OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY_HERE - With a Worldweatheronline account
- Worldweatheronline no longer gives out free API keys. #83
- Update the following
.wegorcconfig variables to fit your needs:
backend=worldweatheronline location=New York wwo-api-key=YOUR_WORLDWEATHERONLINE_API_KEY_HERE - You may want to adjust other preferences like
days,unitsand…-langas
well. Save the file. - Run
wegoonce again and you should get the weather forecast for the current
and next few days for your chosen location. - If you're visiting someone in e.g. London over the weekend, just run
wego 4 Londonorwego London 4(the ordering of arguments makes no difference) to
get the forecast for the current and the next 3 days. Unfortunately that does
not currently work with the forecast.io backend, as it only supports
latitude,longitude location specification.
You can set the $WEGORC environment variable to override the default config
file location.
Todo
- more backends and frontends
- resolve ALL the issues
- don't forget the TODOs in the code
