I’ve never used either evilwm or conky. I just know where to look (the wikis!) for good instructions. 🤓

If you have any issues with setting up software, the Archlinux wiki and the Gentoo wikis are very high quality. You may have slight changes you need to make for your system (like you use the apt package manager while Arch and Gentoo use pacman and portage) but the configuration, tips and troubleshooting sections are pretty universal.
