hweather - a weather app

Hweather is a weather app that uses openweathermap.org to fetch weather data for any location you need. It translates all the options of the API to easy-to-use and clean command-line arguments. To use it, you'll need an API key, which can be obtained here.

Installation

Since hweather is written in Haskell, you will need GHC and cabal-install on your system. The installation is done by

$ git clone https://www.github.com/ibabushkin/hweather
$ cd hweather
$ cabal build
$ cabal install

Now, you should have an executable named hweather in ~/.cabal/bin/. Add that directory to your path if you wish to call it directly.
