$sudo wget -q http://www.kaivalagi.com/ubuntu/ppa/m-buck-conky-jaunty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/m-buck-conky-jaunty.list
2. Get conky repository key:
$wget -q http://www.kaivalagi.com/ubuntu/ppa/m-buck-conky-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
3. Update your packages database:
$sudo apt-get update
4. install conky and some other plugins:
$sudo apt-get install conky python-feedparser hddtemp lm-sensors conkyforecast
5. Download some required fonts:
$wget -c http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/83257/conkyfonts.zip
6. Extract the fonts packages:
$unzip conkyfonts.zip
7. Copy extracted fonts to the default fonts directory:
$cp ~/conkyfonts/*.* ~/.fonts/
8. remove extracted fonts directory:
$rm -rf ~/conkyfonts

$gedit ~/.conkyrc
11. Copy this lines and past them to gedit appearing window:

.12 Create the configuration :
$gedit ~/.conkyForecast.config
And add these lines:
CACHE_FOLDERPATH = /tmp/
CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 5
EXPIRY_MINUTES = 30
TIME_FORMAT = %H:%M
DATE_FORMAT = %d-%m-%Y
LOCALE = us
XOAP_PARTNER_ID = XXXXXX
XOAP_LICENCE_KEY = XXXXXX
13. Creation of lanching file script:
$gedit ~/conky_start.sh
add the following lines:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 30 &
exec conky -d -c ~/.conkyrc &
exit
14. Make the lanching file executable :
$chmod +x ~/conky_start.sh
15. Now add conky to startup:
Go to the menu Sytems-> Preferences-> Startup applications and click the add button. Indicate the name and command conky / home / [your home] / conky_start.sh
