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.

- sudo yum install @sugar-desktop sugar-runner
-'''Graphical user interface method'''
+In relation to Sugar, Fedora is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.
-: Fedora 20's default GNOME3 graphical software installer tool fails to find Sugar, reportedly as Sugar is not considered to be an "application".
+== Using Sugar as a Desktop Environment ==
-: [https://fedorahosted.org/yumex/ Yum Extender] finds Sugar by searching for "Groups".
+Install Fedora.  Then, in a Terminal, type:
+ sudo dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop
+ sudo dnf install python2-decorator webkitgtk3
-: Yum Extender is the default graphical software installer tool in certain Fedora Desktop Environments, for instance XFCE, and is found in ''Applications Menu -> Administration -> Yum Extender''.
+<!-- missing dependencies on fedora 25 are python2-decorator webkitgtk3 -->
+Then restart your computer.<!-- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs#Workstation_login_screen_.28GDM.29_does_not_show_newly-installed_desktops_until_system_is_rebooted_or_shut_down -->
+At the ''Sign in'' select the ''Sugar'' desktop.
-: If not installed, use the default software installer tool to search for and install ''yumex''. See also [http://www.yumex.dk/p/documnetation.htm YumEx documentation].

-: Open Yum Extender. ''Package Filters'' are found on the line below the main search bar. Use the Package Filter buttons to select "Groups".
+== Using Sugar with another Desktop Environment ==
-: The navigation pane on the left, now lists all Package Groups in alphabetical order.
+Select the ''GNOME on Xorg'' or ''GNOME Classic'' desktop, then in a Terminal, type:
-: Near the foot of the list, press the "+" to open "Sugar Desktop Environment".
+ sudo dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop
-: This will reveal two "Groups". Place a check in the box for "Sugar Desktop Environment". Review the selection in the right pane.
+ sudo dnf install sugar-runner python2-decorator webkitgtk3
-: At the foot of the Yum Extender window, "Install All" will mark all packages for installation.
+ sugar-runner
-: Now press "Apply" to have all necessary packages and dependencies installed, together with a useful selection of Activities.
-: In order to be able to use ''Sugar-runner'', enter sugar-runner in the search field, press "Enter", mark it for installation and press "Apply".
-: Later (if desired) you can return to Yum Extender and install further packages within "Additional Sugar Activities".

-==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]].
