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 [[Sugar_on_Ubuntu_Linux|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'
