Geo2tz is a command-line utility that converts a geographic coordinate (latitude, longitude) into a timezone identifier. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Geo2tz on Void Linux.
Before we can install Geo2tz, we need to ensure that all the necessary dependencies are installed. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S gcc make cmake pkg-config libcurl-devel
This command will install the necessary build tools and libraries.
Next, we need to download the source code of Geo2tz. You can download the source code from the project's GitHub page by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/noandrea/geo2tz.git
This command will download the source code into a directory called geo2tz.
Now that we have the source code, we can build and install Geo2tz. First, navigate to the geo2tz directory:
cd geo2tz
Next, create a build directory and navigate into it:
mkdir build && cd build
Finally, run the following commands to build and install Geo2tz:
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
These commands will configure, build, and install Geo2tz on your system.
To verify that Geo2tz is installed correctly, run the following command:
geo2tz 40.712775,-74.005973
This command will convert the geographic coordinates (latitude 40.712775 and longitude -74.005973) into a timezone identifier. If Geo2tz is installed correctly, the output should be America/New_York, which is the timezone for New York City.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Geo2tz on Void Linux!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
