### How to use it ### How to use it
First off, you need a full install of conky and main lua package I believe. Can't be too sure, but here is what I have installed on my system: What follows is open for improvements!
```
First off, you need a full install of conky, which should bring along lua libraries.
* Debian
You need a fairly recent version of conky (tested successfully on 1.10), available on Stretch release (latest stable). You can install on Jessie, but you need to activate the stretch repo.
**note : if you are not sure about mixing jessie and stretch, it's provably better for you to wait until you upgrade your system first to Stretch**
I Can't be too sure, but I think you actually only need to install **conky-full**:
```
sudo apt-get install conky-full
```
That should suffice, as lua libs will come up as dependencies:
```
dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package} ${Version}\t${depends}\n' conky-all
conky-all 1.10.6-1 libaudclient2 (>= 2.3), libc6 (>= 2.17), libcairo2 (>= 1.8.0), libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.16.2), libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libimlib2 (>= 1.4.5), libiw30 (>= 30~pre1), liblua5.1-0, libncurses5 (>= 6), libpulse0 (>= 0.99.1), librsvg2-2 (>= 2.35.2), libstdc++6 (>= 6), libtinfo5 (>= 6), libx11-6, libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1), libxext6, libxfixes3, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxinerama1, libxml2 (>= 2.7.4), libxmmsclient6 (>= 0.7DrNo), libxnvctrl0
