''sugar-jhbuild depscheck'' will print a list of required packages. They are part of the distribution you're using and should be installed using your favourite package manager (e.g. aptitude/synaptic for Debian, yum for Fedora).

If you notice that there's a package missing from the depscheck output (i.e. it's required for Sugar to work properly and not installed, but depscheck does not mention it), please [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/newticket?component=sugar-jhbuild&version=Git%20as%20of%20bugdate&type=defect&summary=Need%20package%20%3cinsert%20name%20of%20package%3e%20on%20%3cinsert%20name%20of%20distribution%3e&description=%3cplease%20explain%20why%20you%20think%20the%20package%20is%20required%20%28e.g.%20error%20message%29%3e file a bug] (login required first, but currently no automatic redirection to login page) against the sugar-jhbuild Component in the [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ Sugar Labs bug tracker].
