Installation
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."
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 build-essential cvs subversion libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev \ gnome-common gtk-doc-tools libxt-dev automake1.7 automake1.9 python-gtk2-dev \ python2.4-avahi git-core cogito python-dev avahi-utils \ libgconf2-dev xnest libgnome2-dev mozilla-dev libmatchbox-dev python-cairo-dev

Using Sugar-jhbuild
Use of Sugar-jhbuild is detailed on building Sugar from sources. To summarize those instructions:
git clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild cd sugar-jhbuild ./sugar-jhbuild
If you had already checked out sugar-jhbuild previously, make sure your copy is up-to-date before building:
cd sugar-jhbuild git pull
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
