How to install Sugar 0.88.1 on Ubuntu 11.10

Ubuntu has updated Software Center and now only 0.88.1 sugar is offered. Tested --Satellit 14:44, 4 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
