Saturday's meeting:
Today we had the chance to install the Sugar application on Ubuntu. First, we installed the application using the following command in Ubuntu's terminal:
sudo apt-get install sugar
Second, after installation we had no clue where the application was located in the File System, so we searched for about a half hour. To our surprise, the application runs as another session in Ubuntu, or in other words instead of using the default GNOME session, one needs to switch to the Sugar session while at the log in screen in order to run the application. Lastly, one needs to download some activities to run in Sugar, the most useful being the Surf browser activity because the Sugar documentation for installation had recommended this browser as it is the only one that cooperates with the system.
As far as getting the source code and building Sugar our team member, Megan, found the gold mine in terms of useful documentation. The following wiki, sugar-jhbuild, gives a detailed description of the installation process.
