How to install Conky Windows8 metro style on UBUNTU

In this post I will help you install the Metro Style Conky Theme on your Ubuntu.
1. Let’s first install Conky on Ubuntu using this command:
sudo apt-get install conky-all
2. Via the terminal, create a hidden conky folder in your home folder using this command:
mkdir ~/.conky
3. Access it now with this command:
cd ~/.conky

4. Inside this hidden folder (.conky), we need to download the conky theme and unzip it there:
wget http://www.deviantart.com/download/260230653/metro_style_conky_by_kant_o-d4axn99.zip && unzip metro_style*.zip
5. Run now these two commands to make the conky.sh and mail.sh files executable:
chmod +x conky.sh
chmod +x mail.sh
6. To run conky
./conky.sh</code.
7. To start the Windows 8 Metro Style Conky theme automatically, click Applications --> System Tools --> Preferences --> Startup Applications
