Weather CLI

A simple command line tool to check weather stats from OpenWeatherMap.

Installation Instructions

OpenWeatherMap API key required for usage.

1. Clone this repo
2. Change to cloned repo directory and run npm install
3. Create a .env file in root directory and add entry for your API key: OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=<API Key Here>
4. Add entry for DEFAULT_LOCATION in form of "city_name, state" like "Houston, Tx" in .env file: DEFAULT_LOCATION="Houston, Tx"

• This is the location that will be used when you type weather in the console with no extra arguments, so set it to a location you'd like to have a shortcut for.

5. Make this program executable in Linux by running chmod +x weather.js
6. Create a symbolic link to this file with sudo ln -s weather.js /usr/local/bin/weather

Usage

The program will fetch local weather data for the DEFAULT_LOCATION in your .env file, or you can pass in a location when running the program with weather "New York, Ny"

You can also get a 5 day forecast with weather forecast "New York, Ny". If you just type weather forecast, it will output the forecast for your DEFAULT_LOCATION

Currently only works in the USA and the "city, state" format is mandatory
