AnsiWeather is a Shell script for displaying the current weather conditions in your terminal, with support for ANSI colors and Unicode symbols.
Weather data comes from the OpenWeatherMap free weather API.
AnsiWeather requires the following dependencies :
- A command to fetch HTTP data such as cURL or wget
- jq (lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor)
- bc (arbitrary precision numeric processing language)
After cloning the repository, simply invoke the script by typing :
./ansiweather
Any configuration options may also be passed in as command line options :
./ansiweather -l Moscow,RU -u metric -s true -f 5 -d true
The default config file is ~/.ansiweatherrc. The environment variable ANSIWEATHERRC can be set to override this. The following configuration options (detailed below) are available and should be set according to your location and preferences.
Example : ~/.ansiweatherrc
location:Moscow,RU
fetch_cmd:ftp -V -o -
geo_api_url:www.telize.com/geoip
geo_api_proto:http
units:metric
daylight:true
The file ansiweatherrc.example contains all available configuration variables.
Location format is city,CC where CC is a two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
country code. A list of country codes is available here.
In case no location is specified, AnsiWeather will try to geolocate you using Telize.
Example : Moscow,RU
location:Moscow,RU
Various tools can be used to fetch data : curl, wget, ftp.
Example : curl -s
fetch_cmd:curl -s
Example : wget -qO-
fetch_cmd:wget -qO-
