Using Sugar on Debian
=====================
*Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run.* -- [debian.org](https://www.debian.org/)
In relation to Sugar, Debian is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.
Using Sugar on Debian
---------------------
Sugar is available in Debian:
- install Debian in the usual way, see [debian.org](https://www.debian.org/), and [debian-installer](https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/),
- when the install has completed, log in, install Sugar, a display manager, and reboot,
```
sudo apt install sucrose lightdm
exec sudo reboot
```
- in the graphical login screen, [change from the default X session to Sugar](https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/sugar-logging-in.md),
- log in as the non-root user, which you will have created during install.
Known bugs include;
- Sugar starts in Journal, workaround is to press F3 button, fixed by [Metacity 074af8f](https://github.com/GNOME/metacity/commit/074af8f87ef89b13ff326fb5d04ee424bbfd4ced),
Update activities using My Settings, Software Update. Updated activities as at 2020-03-07 are Calculate, Chat, Image Viewer, Jukebox, Log, Pippy, Terminal, and Write.
Packaging
---------
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:
- [pkg-sugar-team project](https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-sugar-team),
- [pkg-sugar-devel mailing list](https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-devel),
- [pkg-sugar git repositories](https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-sugar-team/sugar)
- [package archive of Jonas Smedegaard](http://debian.jones.dk/pkg/sugar_/),
Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable release. These packages migrate to the testing release after a while. You can see the current package versions [here](http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all).
