With [[wikipedia:VirtualBox|VirtualBox<sup>®</sup>]] one can run Sugar in a window on Microsoft Windows, Intel-based Apple Macintosh, or Linux host computers from a virtual machine (VM) window. [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/overview/index.html VirtualBox overview]

{{Note/note|
* '''When making a new VM''', to clear the Sugar Journal of old entries and to avoid identity conflicts among copies of the VM, enter the command {{Code|rm ~ rf /.sugar}} in the Terminal activity. Then shutdown the VM. This will clear all Learner information on the VM and let you start with a fresh install. Skipping this will result in collisions in the Neighborhood view of the Jabber network between separate copies of the appliance. Verify the presence of the '''.sugar''' directory by entering {{Code|ls -a}} in Terminal.
* '''When cloning a customized VM''', in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use {{Code|rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*}} in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.}}
* A good solution for Macintosh Computers
