[Sugar-devel] Help with setting up sugar-build on Ubuntu 16.04

[James Cameron]

Yes, please do.  You faced at least two issues that you could add.  You may have faced others that you solved before asking?

The old page mentioned several issues with using sugar-build, but (a) we are not using sugar-build now, and (b) some of those issues won’t be relevant to downloading a live build, installing packages, or git clones.

Just don’t fall into the trap of documenting what others have already documented somewhere else.
