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.

==Checkout sugar-jhbuild==

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

==Build sugar and its dependencies==

cd sugar-jhbuild

Start the build.

./sugar-jhbuild build


If you have problems when building

1) get a clean sugar-jhbuild

2) cd sugar-jhbuild

3) ./sugar-jhbuild build meta-sugar-base

4) ./sugar-jhbuild build

==Run Sugar==

./sugar-jhbuild run

[[Sugar Keys]]

== 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]!
