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.

Ubuntu users should follow the instructions here.

Checkout sugar-jhbuild

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

Build sugar base system and its dependencies

Change directory and start the build.

cd sugar-jhbuild
./sugar-jhbuild build

Run Sugar

./sugar-jhbuild run

Other commands

JHBuild has several other commands that can be useful for development. You can get an overview with:

./sugar-jhbuild --help-commands

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 [http://dev.laptop.org/newticket?component=sugar report issues]!
