Raspbian is a version of Debian for the Raspberry Pi.

Using Sugar 0.106 on Raspbian

To use Sugar in Raspbian is almost the same as using it in Debian:

install Raspbian Jessie in the usual way,
change /etc/apt/sources.list to use the Stretch testing release,

sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

update the package lists,

sudo apt update

install Sugar,

sudo apt install sucrose

select Sugar for your session,

echo sugar > .Xsession

reboot.

Pre-built Images

There are no pre-built Raspbian images for Sugar.

Using Sugar Activities without Sugar Desktop

Turtle Art/Blocks

You can download Activities/Turtle Art and use it on the normal desktop. You can either download it through the package manager (and get version 98):

   sudo apt-get install sugar-turtleart-activity

Turtle art will be added to the Education section of the apps menu.

Or you could get the latest version using git:

   git clone https://github.com/sugarlabs/activity-turtleart-gtk2.git turtleart
   cd turtleart

And use the following to start Turtle Art:

   python turtleblocks.py

NOTE: you may encounter an error related to the summary field in the activity.info. If so, open the activity/activity.info file and move the summary field from the bottom of the file, to being the line below the title field

Sugarizer

Sugarizer is a HTML5 version of Sugar. It has a basic journal and full web activity support.

You can configure Sugarizer to auto-start by setting your ~/.xinitrc to:

   epiphany server.sugarizer.org

(Note: there are a few issues with the browser icons... but sugarizer works well)

Alternatively, you can download the Sugarizer client zip and have it locally on your pi.

-{{warning|Activities do not seem to function.  They seem to timeout before starting.  Do you really want to run an old version of sugar on your pi?}}
-A old version of Sugar ([[0.96/Notes|Sugar 0.96]]) can be found in the Raspbian repositories.  You can install it with:
-    sudo apt-get install sucrose-0.96
-Then set sugar as your desktop environment by opening/creating ''~/.xinitrc''.  Set this file to:
-    sugar-emulator -f
-Now whenever you ''startx'' you will have the delights of Sugar 0.96.
-If you want to use activities other than Turtle Blocks or Pippy, you will need Browse to access the ASLO.  You can install Browse by running:
