== Using Sugar on Debian ==
 
−
 
 
−
There are no pre-built Debian images for Sugar.  Sugar is available in Debian.  To use Sugar in Debian:
 
−
 
 
−
* install Debian ''Jessie'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org],
 
−
* change <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to use the Debian ''Stretch'' testing release,
 
−
sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
 
−
* update the package lists,
 
−
sudo apt update
 
−
* install Sugar,
 
−
sudo apt install sucrose
 
−
* start a display manager or reboot,
 
−
sudo service gdm3 start
 
−
* log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
 
−
 
 
−
We use the testing ''Stretch'' release because Sugar is not in the current stable ''Jessie'' release, as it was not ready. But this has been fixed.

== Testing Sugar on Debian ==
 
−
 
 
−
One Laptop per Child has been curating Sugar and Activities that can be used on Debian, and are in some cases more recent than the Debian ''Jessie'' stable release, or the Debian ''Stretch'' testing release.  This will change over time, as package version numbers are kept below Debian versions so that Debian packages will be installed by preference.

−
How to add Sugar 0.106.0 to a Debian ''Jessie'' system:
 
−
* edit <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to add the OLPC archive,
 
−
deb [trusted=yes] <nowiki>http://dev.laptop.org/pub/us</nowiki> stretch main
 
−
* update the package lists,
 
−
sudo apt update
 
−
* install Sugar,
 
−
sudo apt install olpc-activities
 
−
* log out of your default desktop, and then log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
 
−
 
 
−
Note: only amd64 architecture is supported.  This removes the Abiword support for the Write activity on 32-bit systems.
