# Weather widget

![Weather Widget]({{'/assets/img/screenshots/weather-widget.png' | relative_url }})

Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be [installed](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme#installation) first under **/usr/share/icons/Arc/** folder.

## Installation

 - install lua socket
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install lua-socket
```

 - download json parser for lua: https://github.com/rxi/json.lua
 - get Open Weather Map app id here: https://openweathermap.org/appid

You can read how it works in more details [here](http://pavelmakhov.com/2017/02/weather-widget-for-awesome-wm)
