Install Harmattan 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. This conky offers 15 different flavors with 4 modes (comfortable, compact, mini, and other). I made installation easy as much as I could for everybody, installation script will setup everything but 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 Weather, Date/Time, System uptime, CPU/Memory, HDD info (Root, Home, Swap), Processes, and Realtime HDD usage graphs, Internet upload/download speed with numbers and graphs, and top real time processes but not all modes display complete info (for instance mini mode display just necessary information). I dropped PPA support for conky because many user report 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 automatic setup makes stuff easy.
