Real time subway info

install go

$ sudo apt-get install golang
$ mkdir $HOME/code/go
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/code/go

$ sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler

$ go get -u -v github.com/golang/protobuf/proto
$ go get -u -v github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

Add $GOPATH/bin to your path (because you need to access protoc-gen-go from there)

Configure the key, trains and stations.

Generate a key at http://datamine.mta.info/ . Create a file called cmd/keys.go that looks like

package main

// Generated a key at http://datamine.mta.info/
const KEY = "insert key here"

Add the feed, train and station to the top of main.go

Protos

These come from: https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs-realtime/gtfs-realtime-proto http://datamine.mta.info/sites/all/files/pdfs/nyct-subway.proto.txt

I built them with:

$ protoc --go_out=. gtfs-realtime.proto
$ protoc --go_out=. nyct-subway.proto

This creates gtfs-realtime.pb.go and nyct-subway.pb.go.
