Play with Conky with Conky Manager

Use Conky Manager to manage your conky scripts

> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa
> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install conky-manager p7zip

Another method to install (if you have difficulties to add repository to your computer)
Visit their launchpad repository here and choose .deb file matching to your system and install
