One of the easiest ways to install Sugar is to use sugar-jhbuild.

Sugar-jhbuild will automatically download the latest of sugar's dependencies as well as sugar itself directly from their source repositories, rather than relying on source packages that may have become stale. Below are generic instructions on how to use sugar-jhbuild to get up and running with Sugar.

Checkout sugar-jhbuild

git clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild

Build sugar and its dependencies

cd sugar-jhbuild
./sugar-jhbuild build

Run Sugar

./sugar-jhbuild run

Sugar Keys

Customize

To customize the build create a configuration file, named .olpc.jhbuildrc, in your home directory.

Write access to the repositories

If you have write access to the repositories you can add:

repos['gnome.org'] = ':ext:marco@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
repos['mozilla.org'] = ':ext:marco%gnome.org@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot'
repos['git.laptop.org'] = 'git+ssh://dev.laptop.org/git/artwork'

Notes

sugar-jhbuild is still in early development. In particular, dependencies detection will be improved. It needs a lot of testing, so give it a try and report issues!
