Sweets Distribution

• Sugar 0.94

As of 2012-03, Ubuntu does not have a complete, stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories. In particular, there is no compatible web browser.

Until this is fixed, try one of these options:

• use Sweets on Ubuntu, see below,
• use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see below,
• use the incomplete version that Ubuntu provide, see the last section below, or
• install from Sugar source.

How to install Sugar on Ubuntu 11.10

Ubuntu has updated Software Center and now only 0.88.1 sugar is offered. Tested 14:44, 4 March 2012 (EST) --User:Satellit

This is not reproducible. Tested 6th March, ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso md5sum c396dd0f97bd122691bdb92d7e68fde5 on VirtualBox, with "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" to install all updates. Result was that Sugar versions 0.84, 0.86, 0.88, and 0.90 were all offered by Ubuntu Software Centre. A user would naturally install 0.90 as the latest. --Quozl 20:38, 5 March 2012 (EST)

There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu, many of which have been fixed in a later version, so we recommend the Sweets or virtual appliance methods instead. There is only firefox offered as a browser and it is not fully "sugarized" and will not install .xo files correctly as it cannot access the sugar-journal
