# Weather widget
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
1. Install lua socket - to make HTTP calls to get the weather information.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install lua-socket
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Download json parser for lua from [github.com/rxi/json.lua](https://github.com/rxi/json.lua) and place it under **~/.config/awesome/** (don't forget to star a repo <i class="fa fa-github-alt"></i> ):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget -P ~/.config/awesome/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rxi/json.lua/master/json.lua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repo under **~/.config/awesome/**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets.git ~/.config/awesome/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Get Open Weather Map app id here: [openweathermap.org/appid](https://openweathermap.org/appid) and place it in **~/.config/awesome/awesome-wm-widgets/secrets.lua**, or directly in the widget. Don't forget to set also your city and units - C/F.
|
|
|
|
1. Require weather widget at the beginning of **rc.lua**:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local weather_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.weather-widget.weather")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Add widget to the tasklist:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
|
|
{ -- Right widgets
|
|
layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
|
|
...
|
|
weather_widget,
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
