The applet can be installed using the following steps:
sudo apt install libxkbcommon-dev just
git clone https://github.com/cosmic-utils/cosmic-ext-applet-weather.git
cd cosmic-ext-applet-weather
just build
sudo just installlibxkbcommon-dev is required by smithay-client-toolkit
The applet currently does not have a graphical interface for setting the coordinates to fetch and display the temperature for a specific location. To set the current location, specify the latitude and longitude in the configuration files.
Use IP-API web service (https://ip-api.com/docs/api:json) to retrieve approximate coordinates or alternatively, use mapping platforms like Google Maps to obtain accurate latitude and longitude.
cd ~/.config/cosmic/io.github.cosmic_utils.weather-applet/v1/Create and add latitude in the latitude file:
touch latitude
echo "12.123163" > latitude
Similarly for longitude:
touch longitude
echo "23.811234" > longitude
The applet refreshes every minute, and the new coordinates will be used only at that time. As a workaround, simply remove and re-add the applet in the panel settings for an instant refresh.
To uninstall files installed by just install, run:
sudo just uninstall
