== Using Sugar 0.110 on Debian ==
Sugar 0.110 is available in Debian ''Stretch'':
* install Debian ''Stretch'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org], and [https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/ debian-installer],
* when asked mid-way through install what to include, deselect all,
* when the install has completed, log in, install Sugar, a display manager, and reboot,
sudo apt install sucrose lightdm
exec sudo reboot
* in the graphical login screen, change from the default X session to Sugar,
* log in as your non-root user, created during install.
Known bugs include;
* [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848841 848841] journal view multiple select does not show actions toolbar,
* Browse busy cursor may get stuck on.
== Pre-built Images ==
There are few pre-built Debian images for Sugar, and the tools available in Debian make this easy for any integration or deployment team. There's no need for us to duplicate documentation here.
See also https://wiki.debian.org/SugarBlend for one method and an image.
See also [[Debian/Raspberry Pi]] for the Raspberry Pi, a [[GSoC]] work in progress, based on an image builder [https://github.com/drtyhlpr/rpi23-gen-image.git|rpi23-gen-image].
== Packaging ==
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:

Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable release. These packages migrate to the testing release after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all here].
