<br>
Sugar is a "desktop environment", which means it is a graphical shell<br>
program and a suite of other programs activated from that shell. It<br>
is run (using python module jarabe) as the first and only program of a<br>
graphical login session, e.g. through Xsession.<br>
<br>
Sugar uses GNU conventions for software package building and<br>
installing. We know this as "configure, make, make install". The<br>
method works on pretty much every major Linux distribution.<br>
<br>
Each Linux distribution may follow different conventions for how<br>
programs, or Python programs in particular, are installed.<br>
<br>
Sugar Live Build is built from the Debian distribution, and so most<br>
closely tracks how Debian developers install software.<br>
<br>
However, it does not exactly match.<br>
<br>
The domain specific knowledge needed is operating system software<br>
distribution internals, and specific knowledge about how Python<br>
programs are installed by distribution packages on a Debian system.<br>
<br>
Once you know how a Python program is installed on a system for all<br>
users of that system to use, you have the first step of many.<br>
