Insights for Weather

This project provides a user interface to query the Weather Company Data for IBM Bluemix service.

Running the app on Bluemix

1. Create a Bluemix Account

   Sign up for Bluemix, or use an existing account.

2. Download and install the Cloud-foundry CLI tool

3. Clone the app to your local environment from your terminal using the following command

git clone https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/insights-weather.git

4. cd into this newly created directory

5. Edit the manifest.yml file and change the <application-name> and <application-host> from insights-weather to something unique.

   applications:
     - services:
       - insights-weather-weatherinsights
       name: insights-weather
       host: insights-weather
       memory: 256M
   

The host you use will determinate your application url initially, e.g. <application-host>.mybluemix.net.

6. Connect to Bluemix in the command line tool and follow the prompts to log in.

   $ cf api https://api.ng.bluemix.net
   $ cf login
   

7. Create the Weather Company Data for IBM Bluemix service.

$ cf create-service weatherinsights Free-v2 insights-weather-weatherinsights

8. Push the application to Bluemix.

$ cf push

And voila! You now have your very own instance running on Bluemix. Navigate to the application url, e.g. <application-host>.mybluemix.net and start querying the Weather service.
