You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
 
 
 
As of 2012-02, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.  Until this is fixed, your choices are:
 
* use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, using the Ubuntu repositories,
 
* use [[Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu,
 
* switch to the [[Community/Distributions/Trisquel|Trisquel distribution]],
 
* switch to [[Community/Distributions|some other distribution]],
 
* use a virtual appliance, or;
 
* install from Sugar source.

#How to install Sugar for your Ubuntu desktop. It is dependent on your Ubuntu's release version and the Sugar version you are going to install.
