*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.

### [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.
|
|
|
|
## 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-openweather.git
|
|
cd ~/gnome-shell-extension-openweather
|
|
./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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also use *dconf-editor* or *gsettings* to configure the extension through the command line.
|
|
|
|
On [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/) you have to register to get an [API key](http://openweathermap.org/appid). This key has to be added in the preferences dialog.
|
|
To use [Forecast.io](https://forecast.io) you also need 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. Do not add billing information, otherwise you might have to pay for the weather-data if something went wrong !
