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.
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 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
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
You can install the extension from my repo. I have packages for Fedora 18, 19 and 20.
To install my repo download and install this rpm.
If it is not installed automatically, just run:
sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://rpm.jenslody.de/fedora-jenslody.de-0.1-2.fc17.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
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-weather
./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.
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 maintainers recommend to use an API key. This key can be added in the preferences dialog.
