This is a tiny program that scrapes and downloads images from NOAA's goes east satellite. The point of this project is to be able to keep a locally stored database of these images, so you can look back further than the ~44 image limit of the online directory list.
- Obtain a compiled jar file: See the "Building from source" instructions or head over the releases page.
- cd to the directory containing the jar file. The images will also be downloaded in this directory.
- run the WeatherImages.jar with "java -jar WeatherImages.jar".
- The images will appear in a newly created "./img/" directory.

- Extract the code if you downloaded the zip file
- cd to the directory with the code
- Either run "./gradlew build" on unix systems or "gradlew.bat build" on windows
- Your shiny new jar will be located in "build/libs/"
A director listing of the images can be found here, and a short loop of some recent images can be found here. About two months of images downloaded using this program in a video can be found here.
