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:

Except for Docker, 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.

Release Builds for Debian

lib.finalrewind.org/deb provides Debian packages of all release versions. Note that these are not part of the official Debian repository and are not covered by its quality assurance process.

To install the latest release, run:

wget https://lib.finalrewind.org/deb/libtravel-status-motis-perl_latest_all.deb
sudo apt install ./libtravel-status-motis-perl_latest_all.deb
rm libtravel-status-motis-perl_latest_all.deb

Uninstallation works as usual:

sudo apt remove libtravel-status-motis-perl

finalrewind.org APT repository

lib.finalrewind.org/apt provides an APT repository with Debian packages of the latest release versions. Note that this is not a Debian repository; it is operated under a best-effort SLA and if you use it you will have to trust me not to screw up your system with bogus packages. Also, note that the packages are not part of the official Debian repository and are not covered by its quality assurance process.

To set up the repository and install the latest Travel::Status::MOTIS release, run:

curl -s https://finalrewind.org/apt.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/finalrewind.asc
echo 'deb https://lib.finalrewind.org/apt stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/finalrewind.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libtravel-status-motis-perl

Afterwards, apt update and apt upgrade will automatically install new Travel::Status::MOTIS releases.

Uninstallation of Travel::Status::MOTIS works as usual:

sudo apt remove libtravel-status-motis-perl

To remove the APT repository from your system, run:

sudo rm /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/finalrewind.asc \
        /etc/apt/sources.list.d/finalrewind.list

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:

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

Running motis-m via Docker

A motis-m image is available on Docker Hub. It is intended for testing purposes: due to the latencies involved in spawning a container for each motis-m invocation, it is less convenient for day-to-day usage.

Installation:

docker pull derfnull/motis-m:latest

Use it by prefixing motis-m commands with docker run --rm derfnull/motis-m:latest, like so:

docker run --rm derfnull/motis-m:latest --version

Documentation is not available in this image. Please refer to the online motis-m manual instead.
