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. 

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.

Using Sugar-jhbuild

Use of Sugar-jhbuild is detailed on building Sugar from sources.

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