BASIC UNIX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WEATHER UTILITY
Copyright (c) 2006 Jeremy Stanley <fungi@yuggoth.org>, all rights reserved.
Licensed per terms in the LICENSE file distributed with this software.
PREREQUISITES
You need the Python interpreter installed somewhere in your path
(most modern UNIX derivatives come with one already). If you need to
get Python, it can be obtained from http://www.python.org/ (but
chances are your operating system at least provides some sort of
native package for it, which you should probably install in whatever
means is recommended by your OS vendor/distributor).
RUNNING IN PLACE
An easy way to try it out is to unpack the tarball and change to the
resulting directory:
tar xzf weather-*.tar.gz
cd weather
./weather --version
./weather --help
man ./weather.1
man ./weatherrc.5
./weather --forecast --no-conditions --city=charlotte --st=nc
./weather ord sea
...and so on. The weather utility, included Python module and
documentation are all fully functional when kept together in one
directory, if somewhat inconvenient.
INSTALLING THE UTILITY
The file named weather should be made executable and put somewhere
in your path (/usr/local/bin/ or ~/bin/ for example). Similarly,
weather.py needs to be somewhere in Python's include path. You can
see your Python interpreter's default include path by running:
python -c "import sys ; print sys.path"
CONFIGURATION
The weatherrc file should go in /etc/ or you can save it in your
home directory as a dotfile (~/.weatherrc) to support user-specific
alias configuration and overrides of the global /etc/weatherrc file.
MANUALS
Optionally, the weather.1 and weatherrc.5 files can be placed in
sane locations for TROFF/NROFF manual files on your system (for
example, /usr/local/share/man/ or ~/man/).
