Simple Weather App

This is a weather app I created using python, tkinter and the openweathermap API. This is a university project but it is here, for reference purposes.

How to run?

This was made and tested with Python 3.12.

• Clone the repository:

  git clone https://github.com/syndrizzle/weather-app.git
  cd weather-app

• Next, install the requirements using pip:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

• Then run the app:

  python app.py

Creating an executable using PyInstaller

I made this compatible with pyinstaller (It was giving some problems initially), if you don't like running the app.py file again and again, you can create a one click executable to launch this.

• First install pyinstaller using pip:

  pip install pyinstaller

• Use this command when in the project's root directory to create an app:

  pyinstaller --onefile --add-data "path\to\weather-app\fonts;fonts" --add-data "path\to\weather-app\icons;icons" --add-data "path\to\weather-app\ui;ui" --add-data "path\to\weather-app\api.py;." --icon "path\to\weather-app\icons\launcher\icon.png" --add-data "path\to\weather-app\config.json;." --noconsole app.py

  [!WARNING]
  Replace path\to with the actual path of the app, a complete path is necessary for it to work. For eg: c:\weather-app
