How to Install Conky Manager?

Support & Help Requests
1

I was able to successfully install conky, but I need the manager to configure it correctly. I can't seem to get it to install. Is there anyone that can help me? I'd really like to see a live version of my memory/cpu usage on my desktop. Please help, my friends! I'm using Ubuntu Mate 16.04 beta 1

The xenial ppa is not yet out so you can load up wily for now.

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install conky-manager

https://launchpad.net/~teejee2008/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=wily

or just use the gui

I tried that, but when I do I get an error.

E: Unable to locate package conky-manager

Any idea why? I added the PPA and updated it per usual protocol.

My error, sorry. Please change your distro to wily.

All you need to do is install the latest realpath version available for bionic, for me it's here.
Install it, then retry to install the conky-manager deb, it should work.
