:''Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run.'' -- [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org]
 
 
 
In relation to Sugar, Debian is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.
 
 
 
== Using Sugar on Debian ==
 
 
 
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
 
* restart the 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.
 
 
 
== Pre-built Images ==
 
 
 
There are no pre-built Debian images for Sugar, but the tools available in Debian make this easy for any integration or deployment team.
 
 
 
== Packaging ==
 
 
 
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:
 
* [https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar project],
 
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-devel pkg-sugar-devel mailing list],
 
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-commit pkg-sugar-commit mailing list],
 
* [https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar git repositories],
 
* [http://debian.jones.dk/pkg/sugar_/ package archive of Jonas Smedegaard],
 
 
 
Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable release. These packages migrate to the testing release after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].
 
 
 
Those interested in developing Sugar software should visit our [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ developer documentation website].
