[Sugar-devel] Query regarding development setup for sugar activiities

[Tushar Gupta]

Just a quick question, I am using ubuntu 18.04

I pip installed sucrose
Cloned the repo somewhere on ubuntu
Then navigated to the cloned repo, ran python main.py dev
Re-login with sugar And changes will be reflected in sugar ?

Thanks !
