Geo2tz is an open-source tool that allows you to retrieve Time Zone ID for any given geo-coordinates. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Geo2tz on the latest version of POP! OS.
Before we get started, we need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Open the terminal on your POP! OS system.
Install the git package:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
Clone the Geo2tz tool from the Github repository:
git clone https://github.com/noandrea/geo2tz.git
Change the directory to the cloned repository:
cd geo2tz
Install the required packages:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
That's it! Now you can run Geo2tz by running the following command:
python3 geo2tz.py
To use Geo2tz, you will need to input the latitude and longitude of a location. For example, to find the Time Zone ID of San Francisco, enter the following command in the terminal:
python3 geo2tz.py -lat 37.7749 -long -122.4194
The output will be the Time Zone ID for San Francisco, which is "America/Los_Angeles".
