| + | === Ways to run Sugar === |
| + | Determine which of the various methods of running Sugar meet your needs: |
| + | * '''Run Sugar pre-installed in a computer''' |
| + | *: Some computers come with Sugar pre-installed, most notably the [[olpc:Hardware|OLPC XO laptops]]. |
| + | *: Some deployments use the [https://sugardextrose.org/ Dextrose] distribution of Sugar. |
| + | * '''Boot a Live CD / Live USB pre-installed with Sugar''' |
| + | *: Suitable for trying Sugar without having to install any software on almost any computer—just boot Sugar off of a CD or USB drive. '''Note:''' When booting a Live CD, the Journal is not automatically saved on shutdown, because the boot media is readonly. All changes are lost upon shutdown or reboot. This is not a limitation for Live USB installations. See our [[Sugar on a Stick]] project page or other [[:Category:Live USB|Live USB projects]]. |
| + | * '''Install Sugar''' |
| + | *: If you are running one of the currently supported distributions, you can install Sugar using your systems standard package manager, e.g., Synaptic, apt-get, or yum. See [[Fedora#Sugar_Learning_Environment|these instructions]]. |
| + | *: The [[Harmonic Distribution]] of the Sugar Learning Platform may also appeal to you. |
| + | * '''Install an emulator or virtualizer and launch a bootable Sugar disk image file''' |
| + | *: [[QEMU]], [[VirtualBox]], or [[VMware]] let you run Sugar in an emulator or by virtualization on your computer—you'll need to install an emulator from which you launch Sugar and one of the [[Emulator image files]]. |

− | ==Updating Sugar to the Latest Version== | + | ==Looking at Sugar variants== |
| | | |
− | ==== Update To The Latest Version ====
| + | See [[Sugar System Stack]] for a picture of the software stack. |
| | | |
− | Run olpc-update
| + | ===Starch=== |
| | | |
− | Normally you only need to run ''olpc-update'' in the Terminal application with a build number, like this:
| + | [[Image:Sugar-on-CD-USB.jpg]] |
| | | |
− | # olpc-update 703
| + | [[Taxonomy#Starch.28es.29:_A_complete_disk_image_for_Sugar|Starch]] is a complete disk image for Sugar. |
| | | |
− | ==== Update To The Latest Experimental Version (a.k.a. Joyride) ==== | + | ===Sucrose=== |
− | | |
− | <big><font color=red>Joyride is UNSUPPORTED. While it is unlikely that it will damage your hardware, it may cause data corruption. Do not use it on mission-critical systems. </font></big>
| |
− | | |
− | Joyride contains all the bleeding-edge features that will be included in the next release.
| |
− | | |
− | Open the Terminal application and type the following, substituting 1779 for the latest version number.
| |
− | | |
− | # olpc-update joyride-1779
| |
− | | |
− | '''What's the latest version?''' You can find the latest build number (shown above as 1779) at the bottom of http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/
| |
− | | |
− | Updates usually take a few minutes, so be patient.
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Other Options ====
| |
− | | |
− | For example:
| |
− | | |
− | # olpc-update --help
| |
− | <pre><nowiki>
| |
− | Usage:
| |
− | olpc-update [options] --hints hints-file
| |
− | olpc-update [options] [-rf] build-number
| |
− | olpc-update [options] [-rf] --usb
| |
− | olpc-update --version
| |
− | olpc-update --help
| |
− | | |
− | For example:
| |
− | olpc-update 630
| |
− | olpc-update joyride-1779
| |
− | olpc-update update.1-700
| |
| | | |
