# Weather Scraper Apprentice
A Python application that scapes historical weather data from Enviroment Canada. This was the final submission for my college's Python course.
## Preview
## Building
- Install Python 3.12
- Create a virtual environment
- Run BuildMe.ps1
### Download and Build
> ⚠️ The following script will prompt you to temporarily bypass powershell's execution policy
> _BuildMe.ps1_ Is responsible for the creation of the applications executable file
> The [Inno Script.iss](./Inno%20Script.iss) file can be used with [Inno Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php#stable) to create an installer
> ⚠️ The below command is designed for windows
```
git clone [email protected]:tadghh/PythonWeatherApp.git
cd .\PythonWeatherApp\
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r '.\Weather Processing\requirements.txt'
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\BuildMe.ps1
```
### Build output location
After running the above commands you will find an executable file inside the **dist directory** of the downloaded **python-weather-app** repository.
