###dotpredict-predict.tle ###BASIC usage info
Modification of PREDICT's TLE file to provide orbit data for weather satellites NOAA-15, NOAA-18, NOAA-19 You'll need to install predict and wxtoimg packages. For installing predict please follow your distro instructions: for example in Debian:
to get coverage of missing satellites into predict's default config. Please edit qth to reflect your station position. ```
sudo apt-get install predict
```
or in openSuSE:
```
sudo zypper in predict
```
or use package manager provided with your distro.
As for wxtoimg I strongly recomment grabbing .tar.gz package and unpacking it to your /usr/local/ dir. Packages are provided on wxtoimg website.
Next step is to dry-run predict - it should create files which you'll need to replace, edit location info (used in wxmap), and run update-kepplers.sh. More info below.
