# Calendar Indicator
This indicator shows the most immediate event of your Google Calendar in your Ubuntu top bar, and includes a link to event's google meet (if detected).
*Warning*: I hardly code in Python, so refactors are welcome.
## Setup
1. Download this repository [clicking here](https://github.com/tetreum/calendar-indicator/archive/master.zip).
2. Unzip it somewhere like your documents folder.
3. Run `chmod +x ./setup.sh && ./setup.sh` (without sudo)
4. Get your Google Calendar Secret Address (info: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37648?hl=en)
5. Edit `config.json` file with your calendar.
6. Run `./start.sh` and it will work until you restart/shutdown your computer.
7. (Optional) If you like it and want it to start on reboot, run `./runOnBoot.sh`.

"minutesBetweenFetches" : 30,

## Built on
- Ubuntu 18.04 (lsb_release -a)

## Debugging
- It is recommended to manually download the basic.ics file and edit `index.py` to fetch the data locally.
- Rather than using `start.sh`, run `python index.py`
