### PREREQUISITES
---
#### 1. CPU Temperature

6.2. Insall jshon parser

#### 7. Install dropbox-cli

#### 8. Weather Forecast
In order to obtain an API key you have to create your own account on https://developer.forecast.io/ (it's free, and the first 1000 calls per day are free, which is plenty as for me)
Read through their [documentation](https://developer.forecast.io/docs/v2) in order to get the url with json queries that you want. For exapmle, my url contains queries which enable Celsius degrees `units=si` and exclude "hourly" and "flags" data blocks `exclude=hourly,flags`:
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/API_KEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE?units=si&exclude=hourly,flags
#### 9. Fonts
You can find them in **Fonts** directory:
* FontAwesome (http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/)
* Ionicons (http://ionicons.com/)
* Typicons (http://www.typicons.com/)
* Weather Icons (https://github.com/erikflowers/weather-icons)
**Note!**
If you want to download the latest version of **Ionicons** font from the official website there will be no Pacman and Arch icons. The **Fonts** directory contains the patched version of this font with previously mentioned icons.
