Install Flair conky in Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Any other Linux distribution

Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop. Conky is licensed under the GPL and runs on Linux and BSD. Conky can display this info either as text, or using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colours. Conky is able to monitor many system variables including CPU, memory, swap, disk space, temperature, top, upload, download, system messages, and much more. It is extremely configurable, however, the configuration can be a little hard to understand. Conky is a fork of torsmo.
You can check previously shared conky versions for Linux desktop. Flair conky offers you two versions dark and light, you can choose whatever suites your desktop wallpaper. I made installation easy as much as I could for everybody, installation script is semi-automated which means you don't need to bother with installation instead you just need to choose some options (interactively) from setup, I hope no one will get any problem with it. It can work for all Linux desktops environments like (Gnome Shell, Unity, Cinnamon, Gnome Classic, XFCE, Mate, and others). This conky shows Date/Time, CPU and Memory info, acpi temp, Internet upload/download speed and shows total data transfer. I dropped PPA support for conky because many user reported problems, so as usual I picked up only wget script installation method because it can work with most of the Linux distributions without any problem and interactive semi-automatic setup makes stuff easy.
