WeatherRouting

Do these steps once, in this order.

1. Install

1. Double-click Install.
2. Windows may say it protected your PC. Click More info, then Run anyway.
3. A window says "WeatherRouting is installed". Press a key to close it. There is now a shortcut on your desktop to start WeatherRouting.

Install puts WeatherRouting in your own user folder: after that you can delete the unpacked folder and the zip.

2. Make my key

1. Double-click Make my key.
2. Type your name and press Enter.
3. The window shows your key: one long line starting with "ssh-ed25519".
4. Select that whole line with the mouse and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
5. Write a mail to Steef (steef@vanbraband.org), paste the line with Ctrl+V and send it.
6. Or attach the file "WeatherRouting key for Steef.txt" from your desktop instead.

Steef adds your key. He tells you when it is done.

The relay on mx keeps a record of what you download (which models, how much and roughly where), so Steef can see how the app is used, and keeps the messages you send.

3. Start WeatherRouting

1. Double-click Start WeatherRouting (on your desktop or in the folder).
2. Your browser opens WeatherRouting.
3. Keep the black window open. Close it to stop WeatherRouting.

First weather

Open the Areas tab, open an area and press Refresh. The first time this takes a few minutes.

A new version

1. Close WeatherRouting (close its window).
2. Unzip the new version, the same way as the first time.
3. In the new folder, double-click Install, then Start WeatherRouting.

Your boats, routes, calculations and key stay where they are: an update only replaces the app. Then you can delete the unpacked folder.
