Fedora (formerly Fedora Core) is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. -- wikipedia.org

In relation to Sugar, Fedora is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.

Using Sugar as a Desktop Environment

Install Fedora. Then, in a Terminal, type:

sudo dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop
sudo dnf install python2-decorator webkitgtk3

Then restart your computer. At the Sign in select the Sugar desktop.

Using Sugar with another Desktop Environment

Select the GNOME on Xorg or GNOME Classic desktop, then in a Terminal, type:

sudo dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop
sudo dnf install sugar-runner python2-decorator webkitgtk3
sugar-runner

Sugar will start. Logout from Sugar to return to the desktop environment you were previously using.

Sugar is also available from Activities search in GNOME.

Note:
By default, sugar-runner runs full screen. To launch in a smaller window, edit the launcher to insert a default screen resolution using the command line below:

sudo sed -i "s/\(Exec=sugar-runner\).*/\1 --resolution 1024x768/" /usr/share/applications/sugar-runner.desktop

Using Sugar from a USB drive - Sugar on a Stick

Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) is a Fedora spin, made from Fedora and Sugar together.

SoaS starts from a USB drive ("stick"), and can be installed with the Fedora installation process. Or, the Fedora installer may be started from the Sugar Terminal activity, with the command sudo liveinst, or using the tutorial.

+Sugar will start.  ''Logout'' from Sugar to return to the desktop environment you were previously using.
-{{Note/important|Important change in Fedora 25|''Wayland'' has replaced ''X'' as the default display manager in Fedora 25. ''Sugar Runner'' does not work with ''Wayland'' but will work when the ''GNOME on Xorg'' desktop option is selected from the session type icon at the login screen. See the image next to item 2 below.}}
-With {{Code|sugar-desktop}} and {{Code|sugar-runner}} installed you have two simple ways of running Sugar.
+Sugar is also available from ''Activities'' search in GNOME.
-: 1. The ''Sugar Runner'' will be available (no restart required) from ''Show Applications ->  Sugar''.
-::* Sugar will run in a [[wikipedia:Xephyr|Xephyr]] window, entitled 'Sugar Runner', within your current desktop environment. You will have full access to Sugar features, and may even run multiple instances. Networking bugs may currently prevent collaboration with others in the jabber.sugarlabs.org server Neighborhood. Press key '''F1''' to see the Sugar Neighborhood view.
 {{Note/note|Note:|By default, ''sugar-runner'' runs full screen. To launch in a smaller window, edit the launcher to insert a default screen resolution using the command line below:}}
   sudo sed -i "s/\(Exec=sugar-runner\).*/\1 --resolution 1024x768/" /usr/share/applications/sugar-runner.desktop
-::* "Logout" of Sugar (from the Home screen's central avatar hover palette), to return to the desktop environment you were previously using.
-[[File:Login gdm.png|right|250px]]
-: 2. You may also boot directly to the Sugar Desktop Environment (also known as a Sugar session).
-::* On reboot, at the login screen, a "Sugar" entry will now be present in the login screen, under a "settings icon" or under "Session Type".
-::*: The "Sugar" entry in the login screen may not be very obvious at first, and the look will depend on the login manager on your system. This image shows the "Sugar" entry being selected in Fedora 20 GNOME3. (Click the image to see an enlarged version.)
-::* Select "Sugar" within the login prompt, enter your password, and '''Enter''', and the computer will boot into the Sugar Desktop Environment.
-==Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin==
+== Using Sugar from a USB drive - Sugar on a Stick ==
-Fedora spins are alternative versions of Fedora, tailored for various types of users. The Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin, http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/, is the variant of Fedora, with [[Sugar on a Stick]] components included.
+Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) is a Fedora spin, made from Fedora and Sugar together.
-While the Spin is optimized for installation on a USB thumbdrive ("stick"), it can be installed to a hard drive by following the Fedora installation process documented [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ here]. The installer is started from the Sugar Terminal Activity, with the command {{Code|liveinst}}, run as root. There is a tutorial [[Tutorials/Installation/Install with liveinst|here]].
+SoaS starts from a USB drive ("stick"), and can be installed with the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ Fedora installation process].  Or, the Fedora installer may be started from the Sugar Terminal activity, with the command {{Code|sudo liveinst}}, or using the [[Tutorials/Installation/Install with liveinst|tutorial]].
