Binary snapshots
================

Building from sources takes a while and uses a lot of network bandwidth. If
you just want to test or to develop activities, it might sometimes be more
convenient to use a binary snapshot.

First of all download the latest snapshot for your distribution, it's important to pick the right one, it won't work otherwise.

* `Fedora 17 (32 bit) <http://sugarlabs.org/~dnarvaez/snapshots/fedora-17-32bit/latest>`_
* `Fedora 17 (64 bit) <http://sugarlabs.org/~dnarvaez/snapshots/fedora-17-64bit/latest>`_
* `Ubuntu 12.10 (32 bit) <http://sugarlabs.org/~dnarvaez/snapshots/ubuntu-12.10-32bit/latest>`_
* `Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit) <http://sugarlabs.org/~dnarvaez/snapshots/ubuntu-12.10-64bit/latest>`_
* `Debian Wheezy (32 bit) <http://sugarlabs.org/~dnarvaez/snapshots/debian-wheezy-32bit/latest>`_
* `Debian Wheezy (64 bit) <http://sugarlabs.org/~dnarvaez/snapshots/debian-wheezy-64bit/latest>`_

Then unpack it where you like (adapting the tarball path to your system and
snapshot filename)::

    tar xfJ ~/Downloads/sugar-snapshot-fedora-17-32bit-1.tar.xz

Enter the directory and run sugar::

    cd sugar-snapshot
    ./run-sugar.sh

If you are developing activities you should make sure to run setup.py and any
other command which requires the sugar environment inside a shell. You can run 
a shell inside an existing terminal with::

    ./run-shell.sh
