| You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
| |
| | |
| ==Installation==
| |
| | |
| As of 2012-03, Ubuntu does not have a complete, stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories. In particular, there is no compatible web browser.
| |
| | |
| Until this is fixed, try one of these options:
| |
| * use [[Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|below]],
| |
| * use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|below]],
| |
| * use the incomplete version that Ubuntu provide, see the last section below, or
| |
| * install from Sugar source.

| ===How to install Sweets on Ubuntu===
| |
| | |
| Install packages on an Ubuntu system so that you may run Sugar.
| |
| | |
| See [[Sweets Distribution#Installation|How to install Sweets Distribution]].
| |
| | |
| ===How to install a virtual appliance===
| |
| | |
| Install a virtual appliance based on Ubuntu:
| |
| | |
| *the [[Sugar_Creation_Kit#Ubuntu_11.04_sweets-distribution_sugar_0.94|Ubuntu 11.04 Sweets Distribution Sugar 0.94 virtual appliance]],
| |
| *a tutorial on [[Tutorials/Installation/Import a VirtualBox appliance|How to import a virtual appliance into VirtualBox]].
| |
| | |
| There are other virtual appliances based on other distributions, which can be imported into virtualization software on Ubuntu.
| |
| | |
| *see [[Emulator_image_files|Emulator image files]].
| |
| | |
| ===How to install Sugar on Ubuntu ===
| |
| | |
| There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see [[/0.90|a list for 0.90]]), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|Sweets]] or [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|virtual appliance]] methods above instead.
| |
| | |
| In particular, there is no compatible web browser included, though there is a [[/0.90#Problem:_Browse_activity_does_not_work|workaround]].
| |
| | |
| However, if you wish to to install Sugar on Ubuntu:
| |
| | |
| *click on Ubuntu Software Center,
| |
| *search for Sugar,
| |
| *click on sugar-emulator or sugar,
| |
| *click on Install,
| |
| *if asked about other required applications, click to install.
| |
| | |
| Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
| |
| | |
| To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.
| |
| | |
| See [[Emulator/Full Screen|how to create a desktop icon that runs Sugar full screen]].
| |
| | |
| See [[Ubuntu/Previous]] for how to install older versions of Sugar on older versions of Ubuntu using Ubuntu Software Center.
