How to Install Geo2tz on Void Linux

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.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

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.

Step 2: Download the Source Code

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.

Step 3: Build and Install 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.

Step 4: Verify the Installation

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!
