precious v0.2.0-3

precious -- A Minimum kind of Ephemeris

DESCRIPTION

Node package distribution of pyswisseph.

Eden depends on it.

More to come...

EXAMPLES

With specific time, and somewhat more readable output:

cli.js '{"utc": "1974-06-30T21:45Z", "out": "pprint", "extra": true}'

Or data for right now, specific location, and with whole sign houses:

cli.js '{"geo": {"lat": 43.2166667, "lon": 27.9166667}, "houses": "W"}'

Modify the bin/defaults.json configuration according to preference. See precious-json(7) and eden(1) for further / friendlier options.

INSTALL

With the npm prerequisite, do npm install -g precious. The -g for global, means the precious command can be run regardless of current directory.

DEPENDENCIES

• node
• npm
• gcc
• python
• pycco
• gravity

There is a cake install task that is somewhat useful. It assumes that Python, a C compiler and Node.js are already installed.

CAVEATS

It's unknown how the project should be setup for Windows development / use. Contribution of such instructions would be great to have.

Some day, it would be preferable to have Node.js bindings directly to the Swiss Ephemeris, without going through Python or FFI. This is mostly for performance gain, of-course...
