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.

~~It can also run a Sugar session in a window on your desktop using the [[wikipedia:Xephyr | Xephyr]] nested X window server or a VNC session.~~

Below are generic instructions on how to use jhbuild to get up and running with Sugar.

The default size of 800x600 is currently the minimum that should work without issues. I.e. activities should be tested to work in this mode (and in others as well).

== Running sugar in a VNC session ==

Many users and developers have reported problems with running sugar-emulator ~~in xephyr~~. As an alternatice, you can run sugar ~~emulator~~ inside a VNC session. To accomplish this, install ~~any generic vncviewer package~~ and create a <code>~/.vnc/xstartup</code> file containing the code below:

Many users and developers have reported problems with running sugar-emulator, which uses Xephyr. As an alternatice, you can run sugar inside a VNC session. To accomplish this, install a complete set of VNC packages (both server and client) and create a <code>~/.vnc/xstartup</code> file containing the code below:

~~<pre>~~

#!/bin/sh

exec ~/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run dbus-launch --exit-with-session sugar

~~</pre>~~

Now, you may run ~~sugar-emulator~~ by creating a ~~generic~~ VNC session and accessing it using a VNC viewer.

Now, you may run Sugar by creating a VNC session and accessing it using a VNC viewer. E.g.:

vncserver :1

vncviewer :1
