adding weather applet
 

I have downloaded and extracted the cinnamom weather app via settings but in the extracted file there is no install.sh file. I followed the following video and still no install file http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/17, Not sure why? Very new to linux so still working it all out

Which distro is it?

Mint 13

Why don't you download using software manager that way it will automatically install its self

I'll try that when i get home tonight thanks

ok let me know how it goes

Its not in the softwear manager to install

In that case I think you should have a look at this link http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=135494 seems like you not the only one with this problem

Thanks for your help but they have already been able to install the waether applet, I can't as the install.sh file isn't in the folder when I unzip it.Not sure why its not there

I think its because of it is one part on a whole program that's why it doesn't have install.h file. Download whole package open software manager and search and download screenlets am sure you'll find the weather aplet in the. If it doesn't work ill have to load my mint distro to find a solution for you.

still waiting
 

Did screenlets work?

download button
( currently http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com...-JPAG-F1QX.zip )

assuming JKCM-JPAG-F1QX.zip is saved to ~/Downloads

now rightclick panel --> add applet to panel
You should see the weather applet
highlight, and add to panel (button )

get your WOEID ( as per the spices page )
configure applet ( right click in the "add applet to panel" menu, or the applet itself )

Above confirmed at my end, cinnamon 1.9.1 ( git compile on Debian Jessie/sid )
your mileage may vary.

Thanks guys I now have the weather applet available to select after following firerats advice,but all that happens after I select is update manager and dropbox icon flash once and thats it no weather icon. I installed screenlets as well after that still nothing. Still progress

the default , un-configured applet looks like the attachment

if you don't see it , try restarting cinnamon

either rightclick panel --> troubleshooting --> restart cinnamon

or

Alt+F2 --> r --> <enter>

Restarting made no difference no applet. Tried unchecking and re adding but nothing
