## Quickstart
Conky comes bundled with many package managers. However, if you'd like to try the latest release of Conky, you can try the AppImage build. If you have `jq` and `curl` installed, run the following command to fetch the latest AppImage:
```ShellSession
$ curl -sL -o conky-x86_64.AppImage \
$(curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/brndnmtthws/conky/releases/latest | \
jq --raw-output '.assets[0] | .browser_download_url')
$ ls
conky-x86_64.AppImage
```
If you don't have `jq` and `curl` installed, go to
https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/releases/latest and fetch the latest
AppImage. Then:
```ShellSession
$ chmod +x ./conky-x86_64.AppImage
$ ./conky-x86_64.AppImage -C > ~/.conkyrc
$ ./conky-x86_64.AppImage
```
And that's it! [Check out the Wiki](https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/wiki) for more details on configuring Conky.
_Note_: To use the AppImage, you may need to install additional runtime libraries.
