Conky on Trisquel

Hey guys, I'm newbie (new to Trisquel, Linux and the forum.) So far, I love my distro of Trisquel, but I really want to install Conky on my system (to display the weather, etc; on my desktop.) I've installed a copy using the Synaptic Package Manager, but I was wondering if there was a way I could install it use it /configure it using the terminal.

This is probably a basic question, but I really new to this.

Xina.
