[Sugar-devel] facing difficulties in setting up sugar development environment

[James Cameron]

Hello Ayushman,

Yes, Ubuntu 18.04 does not have sugar-activity3, that's why we provided Sugar Live Build.

No, it is not necessary to rebuild Sugar Live Build.  Better is to install it in a VM.

Sugar will read activities in the Activities directory when Sugar starts.

A native build requires additional dependencies, and you will have to resolve them yourself if you choose that method.  Decorator is provided by python3-decorator package, Requests by python3-requests package, but there will likely be other dependencies.
