Linux Mint 18 Conky Themes

How To Kill Conky if already running!

Code:

killall conky

Code:

git clone https://github.com/erikdubois/Aureola.git

https://github.com/erikdubois/Aureola




aureola

Code:

./get-aureola-from-github-to-local-drive-v1.sh

Navigate to

Code:

cd aureola/acros/

and run

Code:

./install-conky.sh

This script will again download the latest code from github but it will also move all the conky's in a hidden folder in your home directory. All the conky's will be placed in

    ~/.aureola

From this folder .aureola you can rerun at any time the script

    ./get-aureola-from-github-to-local-drive.sh

and your conky's will be updated to the latest version automatically.

This script will take care of :

- file management

- making sure that conky starts next time you boot

- making sure there is a ~/.config/conky folder present

- making a hidden folder ~/.aureola where all the conky's will reside

- copy/pasting the github files in the hidden folder ~/.aureola

Remember

Aureola's home folder is a hidden one.

~/.aureola

Conky's home folder is also a hidden one.

~/.config/conky.

Anything with the name conky.conf will be started if in the conky's home folder.
Choose and run a conky

Now you have a hidden folder on your computer with all the conky's of aureola.

Navigate to

Code:

cd ~/.aureola

and choose a directory of a conky you like. There are images available.

Run the installation script provided :

Code:

./install-conky.sh
