Installation

Check your distribution for packaging:

Packaging status

To directly install or update the wego binary from Github into your $GOPATH as usual, run:

go install github.com/schachmat/wego@latest

Setup

  1. Run wego once. You will get an error message, but the .wegorc config file will be generated in your $HOME directory (it will be hidden in some file managers due to the filename starting with a dot).
  2. With an Openweathermap account
    • You can create an account and get a free API key by signing up
    • Update the following .wegorc config variables to fit your needs:
      backend=openweathermap
      location=New York
      owm-api-key=YOUR_OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY_HERE
    
  3. With a Worldweatheronline account
    • Worldweatheronline no longer gives out free API keys. #83
    • Update the following .wegorc config variables to fit your needs:
      backend=worldweatheronline
      location=New York
      wwo-api-key=YOUR_WORLDWEATHERONLINE_API_KEY_HERE
    
  4. You may want to adjust other preferences like days, units and …-lang as well. Save the file.
  5. Run wego once again and you should get the weather forecast for the current and next few days for your chosen location.
  6. If you're visiting someone in e.g. London over the weekend, just run wego 4 London or wego London 4 (the ordering of arguments makes no difference) to get the forecast for the current and the next 3 days.

You can set the $WEGORC environment variable to override the default config file location.
