First steps
===========
Getting Sweetener
-----------------
Sweetener is available on Git.
To get all the packages in a stable version and have an example,
write in a console:
::
$ git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/sweetener/sweetener.git
$ cd sweetener
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ make activity
$ python setup.py dev
$ make install
Now you have a hello world application in the Applications->Accesories menu and
its corresponding activity on Sugar.
Creating an activity
--------------------
* Start a git repository.
* Copy to your new activity directory the following files from sweetener:
* `Makefile`
* `activity.py`
* `canvas.py`
* `info.py`
* `options.py`
* `setup.py`
Optional, only if you want to get your activity working on desktops:
* `application.py`
* `hello-world` (Rename it to your activity name)
* Make the following directories inside your activity:
* `activity/`
* `sugar/`
* `desktop/` (Only for desktops)
* Clone the Sweetener submodules
::
$ git submodule add git://git.sugarlabs.org/sweetener/makescripts
$ git submodule add git://git.sugarlabs.org/sweetener/sugar sugar/sweetener
# This is only for other Linux desktops.
$ git submodule add git://git.sugarlabs.org/sweetener/desktop desktop/sweetener
* Fill info.py
See :ref:`info-filling`
* Create a sugarized icon on activity/activity-(lower-name).svg where
lower-name must be the same as the variable on info.py
* Generate the activity.info file trough the command make and install
the activity.::
$ make activity
$ python setup.py dev
* If you want the activity running on desktops::
$ make install
.. _info-filling:
Filling information about the activity
--------------------------------------
You need to open the file info.py and fill the variables with the custom
information about your activity.
Look for the following fields:
* Activity Service Name
* IO Mode
Document or Config. Important at desktops.
* Generic Name
Only for desktops. See examples at the file comments.
* Activity Name
* lower-name
* Copyright note (Obligatory for desktops, recommended)
* Version
* Summary
* Authors
* If any, Web site and documentation URL (Only for desktops)
* Categories (Only for desktops)
* Filter
Important on desktops with IO mode set for documents, also needed to create
your own mimetype.
* License name
