![Screenshot](https://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-weather/raw/master/data/Screenshot.jpg) *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*. Currently, the weather data, including forecasts for up to ten days, is fetched from [OpenWeatherMap](http://openweathermap.org/). ---- # Installation After the installation, restart GNOME Shell (`Alt`+`F2`, `r`, `Enter`) and enable the extension through *gnome-tweak-tool*. ## Through a package manager ### [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 ## Generic (Local installation) Make sure you have the following dependencies installed: * *dconf*, * *gettext*, * *pkg-config*, * *git*, * *glib2 (and development packages)*, * *zip*, * *gnome-common*, * *autoconf*, * *automake*, * *intltool*. * *gnome-tweak-tool*. Run the following commands: cd ~ && git clone git://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-weather.git cd ~/gnome-shell-extension-weather ./autogen.sh && make local-install If you want to use openweathermap.org without deprecated Soup.SessionAsync (less TCP Retransmission), please use the openweathermap branch instead. You need to have at least gnome-shell version 3.8 . cd ~ && git clone git://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-weather.git cd ~/gnome-shell-extension-weather git checkout openweathermap ./autogen.sh && make local-install ---- # Configuration Launch *gnome-shell-extension-prefs* (reachable also through the *OpenWeather Settings* button on the extension popup) and select *OpenWeather* from the drop-down menu to edit the configuration. ![Screenshot](https://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-weather/raw/master/data/weather-settings.gif) You can also use *dconf-editor* or *gsettings* to configure the extension through the command line. If you switch from old openweathermap to the new master ( or openweathermap), you can load the settings with dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/extensions/weather/ | dconf load /org/gnome/shell/extensions/openweather/ This can also work for most locations, if you switch from old yahoo-based master-branch (now yahoo) to the new master-branch (openweathermap-based). The [OpenWeatherMap](http://openweathermap.org/) maintainers recommend to use an [API key](http://openweathermap.org/appid). This key can be added in the preferences dialog. ---- # Licence Copyright (C) 2011 - 2013 * Elad Alfassa , * Mark Benjamin , * Simon Claessens , * Ecyrbe , * Timur Kristóf , * Simon Legner , * Mattia Meneguzzo , * Christian Metzler , * Jens Lody .
