motis-m - Command Line Interface to MOTIS Routing Services
motis-m is a commandline client and Perl module for the arrival/departure component of MOTIS routing interfaces. It can show the arrivals/departures at a specific public transit stop, give details on individual trips, and look up stops by name or geo coordinates. It supports text and JSON output.
This README documents installation of motis-m and the associated Travel::Status::MOTIS Perl module. See the Travel::Status::MOTIS homepage and motis-m manual for a feature overview and usage instructions.
Installation
You have five installation options:
- Installing the latest release from CPAN
- Installation from source
motis-m will be available in your PATH after installation. You can run
motis-m --version to verify this. Documentation is available via man motis-m.
Installation from CPAN
Travel::Status::MOTIS releases are published on the Comprehensive Perl Archive
Network (CPAN) and can be installed using standard Perl module tools such as
cpanminus.
Before proceeding, ensure that you have standard build tools (i.e. make, pkg-config and a C compiler) installed. You will also need the following libraries with development headers:
- libssl
- zlib
Now, use a tool of your choice to install the module. Minimum working example:
cpanm Travel::Status::MOTIS
If you run this as root, it will install script and module to /usr/local by
default. There is no well-defined uninstallation procedure.
Installation from Source
In this variant, you must ensure availability of dependencies by yourself.
You may use carton or cpanminus with the provided Build.PL, Module::Build's
installdeps command, or rely on the Perl modules packaged by your distribution.
On Debian 10+, all dependencies are available from the package repository.
To check whether dependencies are satisfied, run:
perl Build.PL
If it complains about "... is not installed" or "ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES", it is missing dependencies.
Once all dependencies are satisfied, use Module::Build to build, test and install the module. Testing is optional -- you may skip the "Build test" step if you like.
If you downloaded a release tarball, proceed as follows:
./Build
./Build test
sudo ./Build install
If you are using the Git repository, use the following commands:
git submodule update --init
./Build
./Build manifest
./Build test
sudo ./Build install
Note that system-wide installation does not have a well-defined uninstallation procedure.
If you do not have superuser rights or do not want to perform a system-wide
installation, you may leave out Build install and use motis-m from the
current working directory.
With carton:
carton exec motis-m --version
Otherwise (also works with carton):
perl -Ilocal/lib/perl5 -Ilib bin/motis-m --version
