About
Sugar is the core of the OLPC Environment. It's goal is to turn the Laptop into a fun, easy to use, social experience that promotes sharing and learning.
Download
Sugar is currently under heavy development, and is not meant for use by anyone but developers and tinkerers. There are no binary packages yet available, and you must build from sources.
Build from sources
Sugar has a fair number of dependencies, some of which are not yet packaged by distributions (e.g. xulrunner). The easiest way to build Sugar is to use sugar-jhbuild.
