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 [[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,
 
* use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, using the Ubuntu repositories, or;
 
* install from Sugar source.
 
 
 
==How to install a Sugar virtual appliance ==
 
 
 
This is covered in a section of the Sugar Creation Kit page:
 
 
 
*http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Ubuntu_11.04_sweets-distribution_sugar_0.94
 
 
 
==How to install Sugar Desktop 0.90 on Ubuntu or Edubuntu 11.10==
 
 
 
*click on Applications, then Ubuntu Software Centre,
 
*search for Sugar,
 
*click on Install,
 
 
 
Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
 
 
 
Only comes with Pippy and TurtleArt activities. You can download more Activities from [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ activites.sugarlabs.org] from outside of Sugar and install each .xo bundle individually in a terminal with:
 
 
 
sugar-install-bundle activity.xo
 
 
 
Activities that you install in this way are not automatically made favourites, and so do not appear in the Favourites View.  Use the List View to mark them as favourites.
