Tony,

Thanks. I have updated it with the two additional commands required, the first of which activates the universe repo, and, if it's already installs is a no-op:

Hi, Alex

I used https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/docs/ubuntu.md.

Tony,

Can you cite the documentation you were using? Nowhere in this process is that cited, and without it, this one line command can't be added. Do you have a wiki account? If so, please feel free to add it to the appropriate page yourself, but it would also be helpful for you to actually cite the content you are referencing here.

Regards,
Alex Perez

Hi, James

Alex Perez identified the problem correctly. I needed to run:

sudo apt-get update

before

sudo apt install sucrose

For me, the real concern is that someone attracted to try Sugar may be turned away be incomplete installation instructions.

Tony

Just now, tested Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.04.1 installation media by
installing Sugar.  The universe repository was already enabled, and
"sudo apt install sucrose" completed normally.  After restart, and
Sugar selected from login, everything worked fine.

There's no error "package not found".  When you try to install a
package that is not listed, you get "E: Unable to locate package
sucrose".

One scenario where "sudo apt install sucrose" may say "E: Unable to
locate package sucrose" is where the system does not have internet
access, or where access was not available during a critical period
after boot when the Ubuntu system automatically updates the package
list.  Missing network drivers is a common cause.  Nothing to do with
Sugar though, and we won't document all the foibles of Ubuntu.

Please do update the Debian Wiki if it is in error.  Not really our
responsibility here at Sugar Labs, so we rely on interested people to
do it.

Packages overiview for Debian Sugar Team says sugar: 0.110.0-3 as stable and

refers to 'sucrose' in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

     Tony,

     It sounds like you do not have the 'universe' apt repository enabled, since
     this is where the sucrose package lives, according to [1]https://
     packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/sucrose

     With Ubuntu 18.04, you should just be able to run "sudo add-apt-repository
     universe" and enable it.

         I am trying to install sugar on a Windows laptop.

         I was able to get 50gb unallocated space and installed ubuntu 18.04
         LTS.

         The command 'sudo apt install sucrose' returned package not found.

         Tony
