 Hi Srevin,
    I have tried installing Sugar for Arch from your repo(from the stable directory), had problems with the installer script. I'm not sure if it runs on vanilla Arch but I was unable to get it work on a fresh install of Manjaro. I have forked the repo (https://github.com/shaansubbaiah/sugar-arch/blob/master/stable/autoinstall.sh) and made slight changes in the installer script with which I got it working.
    Even after getting the installer script to work, some packages like sugar-artwork fail to build due to empy missing. Even after installing empy it failed. Seems to be a common issue ? (https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/sugarlabs/sugar/896/569960865) 
    
    Could you advise how to proceed?
Thanks,
Shaan

 Thanks Shaan. You have brought interest to know you have been using Manjaro (Arch) based Linux. I would be happy to have Arch Linux based packages tested and then published it to the community repository for pacman. You may be interested in installing Sugar Desktop natively on Manjaro by https://github.com/srevinsaju/sugar-arch
Hope this helps you install it natively, and it would benefit the community indeed.
