Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux operating system, with Unity as its default desktop environment. -- wikipedia.org

In relation to Sugar, Ubuntu is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.

Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty

Sugar 0.110 is in the archive for Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty, and can be installed by typing

sudo apt install sucrose

log out,
log in with the Sugar desktop selected.

Using Sugar inside another desktop environment

Sugar is a desktop environment. For developers who use Ubuntu Unity or another desktop environment, Sugar can be run inside that environment as a window.

Install the Remote Desktop packages:

sudo apt install xrdp rdesktop

Create a user for Sugar:

adduser sugar
echo sugar >> /home/sugar/.xsession

Start a session:

rdesktop -g 1200x900 -u sugar -p sugar 0

Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial LTS

Sugar 0.106 is in the archive for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial, and can be installed by typing

sudo apt install sucrose

Sugar 0.110 can be installed by careful addition of the Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty packages.

Organisations that require Ubuntu 16.04 support for Sugar may consider getting involved in the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates process.
