'''Installing Sugar in Fedora - GUI method''' | |||
Fedora 20's GNOME3 default graphical software installer tool fails to find Sugar, reportedly as Sugar is not considered to be an "application". | |||
[https://fedorahosted.org/yumex/ Yum Extender] finds Sugar by searching for "Groups". | |||
Yum Extender is the default graphical software installer tool in certain Ferdora Desktop Environments, for instance XFCE, and is found in ''Applications Menu -> Administration -> Yum Extender''. | |||
If not installed, use the default software installer tool to search for and install ''yumex''. See also [http://www.yumex.dk/p/documnetation.htm YumEx documentation]. | |||
Open Yum Extender. '' Package Filters'' are found on the line below the main search bar. Use the Package Filter buttons to select "Groups" | |||
The navigation pane on the left, now lists all packages, grouped in alphbetical order. | |||
Near the foot of the list, press the "+" to open "Sugar Desktop Environment". | |||
This will reveal two "Groups". Place a check in the box for "Sugar Desktop Environment". Review the selection in the right hand pane. | |||
At the foot of the Yum Extender window, "Install All" will mark all packages for installation. | |||
Now press "Apply" to have all necessary packages and dependencies installed, together with a useful selection of Activities. | |||
In order to be able to use ''Sugar-runner'', enter sugar-runner in the search field, press "Enter", mark it for installation and press "Apply". | |||
Later (if desired) you can return to Yum Extender and install further packages within "Additional Sugar Activities" | |||
