### Requirements

Weatherette requires macOS El Captain (10.11) or later.

### Installation 

Download the application here, open `.dmg` file and drag and drop the

app into Applications folder.

### Building the app yourself

Weatherette is written in Python (Python 3.7), using rumps and appscript

libraries. Additionally you need py2app to build the application package

and create-dmg (awesome little tool for creating dmg files you can find

[here](https://github.com/sindresorhus/create-dmg)).

```

git clone

cd weatherette

python setup.py py2app

```

### FAQ

**Q. But why?**

A. Like with [Beengpaper](https://github.com/rughalt/beengpaper) I got

boread and decided that shelling out cash for for menu-bar application

(that most of the websites featured) is kinda stupid. Of course I didnt

know about

[Weather Bar](https://github.com/manifestinteractive/weather-bar-app)

back then, but well - mine app is simpler.

**Q. How do I setup the app?** 

A. Currently, setup is done via text file you can open using

"Preferences" button. You have to get your own API key from

OpenWeatherMap and find out your city ID. App will warn you (and not

work) if those settings are not initialized.

**Q. Why do I have to set my own API key?** 

A. Free tier of OpenWeatherMap API only allows 60 requests per minute.

While I don't think that this app will ever get so much attention, it

would be unwise to provide API key here, in an open form.
