This guide covers basic Sweets concepts. See also introduction page.
Sweets delivery
Zero Install
Sources bundles
Self-contained binary bundles
This mode is intended for special cases when a sweet needs to be used without Zero Install and Sweets, containing all dependencies bundled. For binary based sweets, resulting bundle will contain binaries built only for the environment that is being used to create this bundle. Thus, make sure that bundle will be used in exactly the same environment as original one.
To build self-contained binary bundle, use bindist command:
sweet bindist <SWEET>
The resulting bundle will be placed to the current directory.
After extracting, it might be used in several ways:
- for libraries, source the shell file in
<SWEET-NAME>/bindingdirectory; - for applications, execute the script
<SWEET-NAME>/<APPLICATION>, the default application name isrun.

Glossary
Harmonic Distribution
- A systematic approach to supporting the full cycle of discovery, learning, collaboration, and development within the Sugar Learning Platform ecosystem. Harmonic Distribution consists of software, services, and practices that make interacting within the Sugar community more useful and complete. Harmonic Distribution consists of two major parts, the Sweets Distribution and the Sugar Network.
Sweets Distribution
- A set of repositories that provide base Sugar software within heterogeneous environments including the most popular GNU/Linux distributions and hardware platforms within the Sugar community. Sweets Distribution provides the easiest way to launch Sugar and start exploring the rest of the Sugar related content using the Sugar Network.
Sugar Network
- A system that is designed to share within the Sugar community different kinds of content, e.g., Sugar Activities, artifacts created by Sugar Activities, books, lessons, reviews, comments, questions, etc. It uses social network mechanisms, to setup relationships between community members intending to improve Sugar Network content. The Sugar Network consists of one global server and an arbitrary number of distributed servers to support people who don't have direct access to the global one, e.g., due to lack of Internet connectivity.
