One Laptop per Child has been curating Sugar and Activities that can be used on Debian, and are in some cases more recent than the Debian ''Jessie'' stable release, or the Debian ''Stretch'' testing release.  This will change over time, as package version numbers are kept below Debian versions so that Debian packages will be installed by preference.

How to add Sugar 0.106.0 to a Debian ''Jessie'' system:
  −
* edit <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to add the OLPC archive,
  −
deb [trusted=yes] <nowiki>http://dev.laptop.org/pub/us</nowiki> stretch main
  −
* update the package lists,
  −
sudo apt update
  −
* install Sugar,
  −
sudo apt install olpc-activities
  −
* log out of your default desktop, and then log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
  −

Note: only amd64 architecture is supported.  This removes the Abiword support for the Write activity on 32-bit systems.
