==Install required packages== |
|||
This tutorial is intended to be used by those of us who are interested in the project, but not to the degree with which we might gain access to the hardware :-) |
|||
You will need some packages from the [[Fedora Core]] repositories. |
|||
I have made this relatively granular in detail, as that is what I would have liked to have seen--especially as a relative novice. My hope is that others might have an easier go of it! |
|||
You can download the [[Sugar]] environment from here http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel |
|||
Or you can use yum, as root, to install them: |
|||
Note: This is a work in progress. It is not complete, due to Python not being able to see several modules required by Sugar. If you have experience with Python environment configuration, please edit this page! I am open to any and all comments/suggestions, and would like to get this up and running as a tutorial for others. |

avahi-daemon -D (may already be running) |

./sugar/sugar |
|||
Note: Sugar does not run, but throws ImportError: No module named avahi. |
|||
I believe this is due to PYTHONPATH or PATH not being set correctly? |
|||
Note: Aleviated above error by copying avahi.py from avahi.org and dropping on my PYTHONPATH. |
|||
Note: Got an ImportError: No module named geckembed. I created a symlink to the correct location: |
|||
ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.4/geckoembed/__init__.py /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/geckoembed/__init__.py |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==NOTES== |
|||
* Path will be dependent upon where you saved the RPMs to, i.e., if you saved to the desktop, your path might be /home/<username>/Desktop/<rpm package name> |

Install required packages
You will need some packages from the Fedora Core repositories. You can download the Sugar environment from here http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel
Or you can use yum, as root, to install them:
yum install git gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake libtool automake17 mozilla \ mozilla-devel avahi avahi-glib avahi-tools xorg-x11-server-Xnest libXdamage-devel \ docbook-style-xsl gtk-doc libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libXt-devel perl-XML-Parser \ gnome-common libgsf-devel libgnomeprint22-devel libgnomeprintui22-devel \ enchant-devel fribidi-devel gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel \ python-pycurl expat-devel
There may be more packages required; if you find any more, please append them to this list.
Build
The easiest way to build Sugar from sources is to use sugar-jhbuild.
