----------------------------------
Clone or download this whole repository. Place the entire folder in your home directory and rename it **Scripts**. If you do not rename this folder, the paths in the .conkyrc won't be able to find the scripts to run. After you have renamed the folder, go into it and copy the **.conkyrc** file and paste it by itself in your home directory. Next, navigate to ~/Scripts/Accuweather and open a terminal here by right clicking and hitting "open in terminal". Once you have a terminal session open, type:
> \$python3 accuweather.py
This will use your api key and query accuweather for the weather forecast info for your city and overwrite the text files in the original repo with your cities forecast. Next, you need to update your font scripts with the ones used in the conky config. If one doesn't already exist in your home folder, create a new folder and name it **.fonts**. Be sure to put the period in front of fonts. Next, google search "dancing script font .ttf. Download any .ttf file you come across. There's many font sources for linux. If you already have a favorite source for fonts, then use that. Move this .ttf file to the .fonts directory. You might have to log off and log on again for it to take affect. After you've completed all these steps, then that should be it. Open up a terminal session and just type conky. Conky should read the .conkyrc file and render the output. You may need to adjust the conky window size in the settings to fit your screen. I formatted this config to fit my 4k screen. Your results may vary.
