Another way to start sugar on Ubuntu is using sugar-* PPA.
Another way to start sugar on Ubuntu is using sugar-* PPA. The purposes to have these PPAs are that for now there is a lack of official sugar packages in ubuntu(hope it will be resolved soon by porting Debian packages) and give users a chance to test last development releases.


'''NOTE''' These PPAs use packages generated by [[Deployment_Team/jhconvert|jhconvert]], so if you have sugar packages installed by another method you need to remove them all(karmic 0.86 packages have Conflicts tags but it wasn't tested yet):
Its possible because these PPAs are based on packages generated by [[Deployment_Team/jhconvert|jhconvert]]. These packages are pretty simple and straightforward and were generated with one idea in mind - start sugar, so they don't follow any Debian/Ubuntu policies and aren't intended to be official packages.
 
'''NOTE''' If you have sugar packages installed by another method you need to remove them all(karmic 0.86 packages have Conflicts tags but it wasn't tested yet):
  sudo apt-get remove -f $(dpkg-query -l | grep -e sugar -e olpc | awk '{print $2}')
  sudo apt-get remove -f $(dpkg-query -l | grep -e sugar -e olpc | awk '{print $2}')
