I posted a tarball of Scratch at www.tcpdpodcast/scratch.html for Linux users. The install is very simple and you can run Scratch from the Terminal or build a launcher for it. Except for Presentation Mode, pretty much everything else works. I'm running SUSE 10 which, imho, is the pickiest distro, so it should work on most versions on Linux. (I'm running GNOME, so KDE folks need to tell me if it works for them.)

Many thanks to David (and John for pointing me here).

Many thanks for this.

It works fine under Gentoo Linux without any problems.

Many thanks for packaging the Scratch program.

We use your Linux-Scratch package for teaching kids programming at Byteworks http://www.bworks.org/byteworks/index.html

I created an "Installer" script which unzips your package to the user's HOME directory, and creates the shell script to run Scratch. It also creates a Desktop icon on the user's desktop, with the Scratch kitty as the icon smile

If anyone wants to use it, it's available for download here:
http://www.notesmine.com/scratch_installer (Instructions are on the download page, they're fairly simple)

Please contact me at tookelso@yahoo.com with any bugs/suggestions.

Hi,

I have scratch running well in Ubuntu under WINE.

kittyscratchpost · 2007-12-27 13:29:03

Would it work in Sugar? You know, the One Laptop per Child computer's OS? It's Linux. I just got one for Christmas via the Give One, Get One program.

kevin_karplus · 2007-12-27 17:17:23

We just got an XO computer also through the Give-One-Get-One program. Scratch would be a very welcome addition to the machine.

Linux123 · 2008-02-18 16:36:52

Mine works fine on Ubuntu under wine.

karenkitty · 2008-04-06 05:23:51

Thanks a lot David! It's working great with Gentoo Linux here! smile

OJY321 · 2008-04-27 06:36:49

I tried the on you posted jsambrook posted on an eeepc and it didn't seem to work :-( but it's a good think I've also got a Windows XP computer lol!

jamie · 2008-05-06 09:55:56

I want a .deb! (Sorry, I'm a noob at linux)

DrSuper · 2008-06-18 23:10:26

Can we run scratch in XO? (OLTP) in design mode or in run mode? I did not see a response.

mschlager · 2008-07-20 17:48:19

Have a look at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Scratch.

Logank · 2008-09-12 17:12:05

Does anyone know if it would be possible to install and run Scratch on a Nokia n810 tablet? I really know very little about linux, other than there seems to be many different "flavors" wink

Many thanks to the original post and for this script installer addition!

tjw411 · 2009-01-06 02:56:48

Mine works fine on Kubuntu under wine. yes it is called Kubuntu not Ubuntu

gusyehia · 2009-05-12 14:31:13

thank you very much, hope it will work with my linux

Lightnin · 2009-06-01 14:26:35

There's currently an alpha Ubuntu package of Scratch 1.3.1 available on our wiki page.

http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Linux_installer

As you can see from the Known issues, there are some bugs. As soon as Scratch 1.4 is released for Windows and Mac, we'll start working on the 1.4 package for Ubuntu. Once it is finished, it will be available on the page linked to above.

SEO · 2009-06-03 14:08:18

So far so good running Scratch on my Debian box. Will have to check out the Windows port when it's available.

Do many people have Linux?

nerddownthestreet · 2009-06-09 19:33:12

Will there soon be a PowerPC compatible version of Scratch for Linux? I'm running Ubuntu on my mac the i386 program won't work on it, and I don't want to have to reboot to OS X if I want to work in Scratch.

David
