*gnome-shell-extension-openweather* is a simple extension for displaying weather conditions and forecasts in GNOME Shell, featuring support for multiple locations, no need for WOEID, a symmetrical layout and a settings panel through *gnome-shell-extension-prefs*.

The weather data is fetched from [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/) (including forecasts for up to ten days) or [forecast.io](https://forecast.io) (including forecasts for up to eight days).

#### Note: since version 29 this extensions uses coordinates to store the locations and makes the names editable to support multiple weather-providers!
#### If you update from versions prior to 29 to 29 or greater (with forecast.io - support) you have to recreate your locations.

# Installation

After the installation, restart GNOME Shell (`Alt`+`F2`, `r`, `Enter`) and enable the extension through *gnome-tweak-tool*.

## Through extensions.gnome.org (Local installation)

Go on the [OpenWeather](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/750/openweather/) extension page on extensions.gnome.org, click on the switch ("OFF" => "ON"), click on the install button. That's it !

## Through a package manager

#### Note: you need the root password for all these installation modes, if you do not have root-access, and the needed build-dependencies are installed, use the generic install.

### [Debian](http://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/gnome-shell-extension-weather)

Debian uses the (former master now ) yahoo-branch !

My fork of the extension is currently only available for unstable/sid.

Install the package through APT (or use your favourite package-manager, e.g. synaptic):

	sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extension-weather


### [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/)

You can install the extension from [my repo](http://rpm.jenslody.de/).
I have packages for Fedora 20, 21, 22, rawhideand RedHat/CentOS 7.

To install my repo download and install [this rpm for all non-rawhide versions](https://rpm.jenslody.de/fedora-jenslody.de-0.3-1.fc19.noarch.rpm), [this rpm for rawhide](https://rpm.jenslody.de/fedora-rawhide-jenslody.de-0.3-1.fc22.noarch.rpm) and [this rpm for RedHat/CentOS 7](https://rpm.jenslody.de/centos-jenslody.de-0.2-2.el5.centos.noarch.rpm).

If it is not installed automatically, just run (for non-rawhide):

    sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://rpm.jenslody.de/fedora-jenslody.de-0.3-1.fc19.noarch.rpm

for rawhide:

    sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://rpm.jenslody.de/fedora-rawhide-jenslody.de-0.3-1.fc22.noarch.rpm

for RedHat/CentOs 7:

    sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://rpm.jenslody.de/centos-jenslody.de-0.2-2.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

Now you can install the extension, either via your favourite package-manager or on a console:

    sudo yum install gnome-shell-extension-openweather

Or go to my [site on fedoras copr-project](https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jenslody/gnome-shell-extensions/), the files are build and hosted there.

You can also use *dconf-editor* or *gsettings* to configure the extension through the command line.

The [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/) maintainers recommend to use an [API key](http://openweathermap.org/appid). This key can be added in the preferences dialog.
To use [Forecast.io](https://forecast.io) you need an to [register](https://developer.forecast.io/register) and get an API key. With this key you can make 1000 requests per day for free. This should be enough for this extension in any normal use case.
