One of the easiest ways to install [[Sugar]] is to use sugar-jhbuild.
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. Below are generic instructions on how to use sugar-jhbuild to get up and running with Sugar.

The [[:Category:Installing Sugar|installing Sugar]] wiki category collects the various articles which detail platform-specific considerations for installing Sugar.
The [[:Category:Installing Sugar|installing Sugar]] wiki category collects the various articles which detail platform-specific considerations for installing Sugar.
Platform-specific issues are discussed under the platform (distribution) names in the navigation bar to the right. You should read these notes before beginning your Sugar installation.
Sugar seems to be working on Debian Lenny (2007-11-05), though Python 2.5, even when installed, is not detected. Comment out the line '''jhbuild.commands.run('sanitycheck', config, [])''', line 95 of the file main.py, to get it to install.

For the base packages , you may be able to use the binary packages from your GNU distribution instead of building them from scratch. Check the [[:Category:Installing Sugar|Installing]] or [[:Category:Linux distributions|Linux]] categories for specific distro info.
