Most days, my terminal is a purely practical space, a place for important commands, logs, and the occasional script. It\u2019s efficient, minimal, and not particularly exciting to look at. But every once in a while, a tool comes along that reminds you that the command line can still surprise you.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what happened when I ran weathr for the first time. Instead of printing a simple forecast, my terminal filled with drifting clouds, falling rain, and a small weather panel quietly reporting the conditions outside.<\/p>\n

\n Installing and configuring weathr
\n <\/h2>\n

\n Available for all major platforms
\n <\/h3>\n

weathr is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you have the Cargo package manager, you can install it via this command:<\/p>\n

cargo install weathr<\/p>\n

On Windows, use the winget package manager:<\/p>\n

winget install -i Veirt.weathr<\/p>\n

For macOS, you can use Homebrew:<\/p>\n

brew install Veirt\/veirt\/weathr<\/p>\n

If you’re using Arch Linux, then install it from AUR:<\/p>\n

yay -S weathr<\/p>\n

After installation, you can do some configuration using the config.toml file. Depending on your platform, you can create them in these places:<\/p>\n

# Linux
\n~\/.config\/weathr\/config.toml (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME\/weathr\/config.toml)
\n# macOS
\n~\/Library\/Application Support\/weathr\/config.toml
\n# Windows
\n~\/AppData\/Roaming\/weathr\/config.toml<\/p>\n

From there, you can change most settings, such as what to display, the behavior, your location, what units to use, etc. There’s a display option. You can use it to control the location name, whether you want to show the city name or just the coordinates. Here’s an example configuration you can follow:<\/p>\n

hide_hud = false<\/p>\n

silent = false<\/p>\n

[location]
\nlatitude = 78.2049
\nlongitude = 119.1992<\/p>\n

# How to display the location in the HUD: “coordinates” | “city” | “mixed”
\ndisplay = “city”<\/p>\n

[units]
\ntemperature = “celsius”<\/p>\n

wind_speed = “kmh”<\/p>\n

precipitation = “mm”<\/p>\n

You can also tweak your environment variables to adjust the…<\/p>\n
