The easiest way to install [[Sugar]] on Ubuntu is to use [[Sugar-jhbuild]]. The instructions on this page are for Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake."


'''This page has been [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Ubuntu moved] to the Sugar Labs wiki.'''
=== apt-get the prerequisites ===


You need a number of packages from the Ubuntu repositories. Some of these packages are not available for the stock Ubuntu install, and you may need to enable the ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' repositories.

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev gnome-common gtk-doc-tools libxt-dev automake1.7 automake1.9 python-gtk2-dev python2.4-avahi

There may be more packages required; if you find any more, please append them to this list.

You also want to install git, the SCM. The git SCM provided by the "git-core" package, ''not'' the "git" package.

sudo apt-get install git-core cogito

=== Using Sugar-jhbuild ===

Use of Sugar-jhbuild is detailed on [[Sugar#Build_from_sources|building Sugar from sources]]. To summarize those instructions:

git clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild
cd sugar-jhbuild
./sugar-jhbuild

If you were looking for the instructions that were here previously that detailed pulling libraries from CVS/git, check the revisions for this page.

=== Testing sugar ===

When using [[Sugar-jhbuild]], you can use:

./sugar-jhbuild run

If you want to run Sugar from the source tree enter in a jhbuild shell:

./sugar-jhbuild shell

Then from the directory sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar), use:

shell/sugar
