There are two ways to run WeatherFast.
WeatherFast-<version>-Setup.exe. This performs a
per-user install into your local application data folder and adds a
Start Menu shortcut. It does not require administrator rights and
installs only for your account.WeatherFast.exe
directly. Nothing is installed; the app runs from wherever the file
sits.WeatherFast is not yet code-signed. The first time you run either version, Windows SmartScreen may show a warning. If that happens, choose More info and then Run anyway to start the app.
On its first run the app seeds a short list of default cities (including Madison, San Diego, Portland, London, Miami, and a few others) so you have something to look at immediately. You can remove any of these and add your own at any time.
Your data is stored under %APPDATA%\WeatherFast — this
holds your saved city list (city.json), your display and
unit settings (config.json), your browse favorites, and a
small cache. If you previously used an older build named FastWeather,
your saved cities and settings are copied over automatically the first
time WeatherFast runs.
WeatherFast accepts two optional command-line arguments:
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
--reset |
Delete the saved city list before starting (the app then starts with defaults). |
-c <path> or
--config <path> |
Use a specific city-list JSON file instead of the default. Useful for keeping separate lists. |
