One of the easiest ways to install [[Sugar]] is to use sugar-jhbuild.


This page is obsolete, please see [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Jhbuild Development Team/Jhbuild on wiki.sugarlabs.org] instead.
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.

==Checkout sugar-jhbuild==

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

==Build sugar and it's dependencies==

cd sugar-jhbuild
./sugar-jhbuild build

==Run Sugar==

./sugar-jhbuild run

==Notes==

sugar-jhbuild is still in early development. In particular, dependencies detection will be improved. It needs a lot of testing, so give it a try and [http://dev.laptop.org/newticket?component=sugar report issues]!

== Customize ==

To customize the build create a configuration file, named .olpc.jhbuildrc, in your home directory.

=== Write access to the repositories ===

If you have write access to the repositories you can add:
repos['gnome.org'] = ':ext:marco@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
repos['mozilla.org'] = ':ext:marco%gnome.org@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot'
repos['git.laptop.org'] = 'git+ssh://dev.laptop.org/git/artwork'

=== Excluding packages ===

If you want to exclude package from the build (because you want to use those provided by your distribution) add something like:

skip = [ 'mozilla', 'gecko-embed' ]

Note that detection of system packages will be automated at some point.
