− | You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
| + | ::https://sourceforge.net/projects/cyberorg-home/files/Li-f-e/ |
− | | |
− | As of 2012-02, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories. Until this is fixed, your choices are:
| |
− | * use [[Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu,
| |
− | * switch to the [[Community/Distributions/Trisquel|Trisquel distribution]],
| |
− | * switch to [[Community/Distributions|some other distribution]],
| |
− | * use a virtual appliance,
| |
− | * use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, using the Ubuntu repositories, or;
| |
− | * install from Sugar source.
| |
− | | |
− | ==How to install a Sugar virtual appliance ==
| |
− | | |
− | This is covered in a section of the Sugar Creation Kit page:
| |
− | | |
− | *http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Ubuntu_11.04_sweets-distribution_sugar_0.94
| |
− | | |
− | ==How to install Sugar Desktop 0.90 on Ubuntu or Edubuntu 11.10==
| |
− | | |
− | *click on Applications, then Ubuntu Software Centre,
| |
− | *search for Sugar,
| |
− | *click on Install,
| |
− | | |
− | Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
| |
− | | |
− | To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.
| |
− | | |
− | A "Choose password for new keyring" dialog may appear. This can be cancelled.
| |
− | | |
− | Only the Pippy and TurtleArt activities are included.
| |
− | | |
− | You can download more activities from Ubuntu. Click on System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager. The packages names all start with sugar- and end with -activity. For example sugar-terminal-activity.
| |
− | | |
− | You can download more Activities from [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ activites.sugarlabs.org] from outside of Sugar and install each .xo bundle individually in a terminal with:
| |
− | | |
− | sugar-install-bundle activity.xo
| |
− | | |
− | Activities that you install in a Sugar Terminal activity are automatically made favourites and will appear in the home view.
| |
− | | |
− | Activities that you install in GNOME Terminal are not automatically made favourites, and so do not appear in the home view. Use the List View to mark them as favourites.
| |
− | | |
− | Browse can be installed, but does not work, because the Sugar Platform is incomplete on this version of Ubuntu; it is missing hulahop.
| |
− | | |
− | === Full Screen ===
| |
− | By default, Sugar on Ubuntu is run in a window. To run Sugar fullscreen:
