Description

AnsiWeather is a Shell script for displaying the current weather conditions in your terminal, with support for ANSI colors and Unicode symbols.

Weather data comes from the OpenWeatherMap free weather API.

Requirements

AnsiWeather requires the following dependencies:

  • A command to fetch HTTP data such as FTP, cURL or wget
  • jq (lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor)
  • bc (arbitrary precision numeric processing language), for doing float arithmetic

Installation

After cloning the repository, simply invoke the script by typing:

./ansiweather

AnsiWeather packages are available for:

Configuration

The default config file is ~/.ansiweatherrc. The environment variable ANSIWEATHERRC can be set to override this. The following configuration options (detailed below) are available and should be set according to your location and preferences.

Example: ~/.ansiweatherrc

location:Rzeszow,PL
fetch_cmd:ftp -V -o -
units:metric
show_daylight:true

The file ansiweatherrc.example contains all available configuration variables.

Location

Location format is city,CC where CC is a two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. A list of country codes is available here. Alternatively, it's also possible to specify locations by their ID, a city list is available here.

In case no location is specified, AnsiWeather will fallback to the default location.

Example: Rzeszow,PL

location:Rzeszow,PL

Fetch Command

Various tools can be used to fetch data: curl, wget, ftp.

Please note that ftp flags and options might differ among implementations and versions, and the example provided here is known to work only on OpenBSD and NetBSD.

Example: curl -sf

fetch_cmd:curl -sf

Example: wget -qO-

fetch_cmd:wget -qO-

Example: ftp -V -o -

fetch_cmd:ftp -V -o -

Default: curl -sf
