=== Setting up the Sugar environment ===
+
=== Basics: Attribution and Licensing ===
   −
There are several options for setting up the Sugar environment for development.
+
Read [[Attribution and Licensing]], as both are important for all submissions.
* Install Sugar on [[Ubuntu]], [[Fedora]], or [[Debian]], using apt or dnf;
+
 
* From Windows. macOS or iOS, run Sugar in a virtual machine;
+
=== Setting up a Sugarizer environment ===
* Live boot from [[SoaS|Sugar on a Stick]];
+
 
* or ''better yet'', use Sugar Live Build containing Sugar 0.112, which can be booted from hard drive, flash drive, and optical media, automatically starting Sugar without persistence; or can be installed as a virtual machine, with persistence and password protection, and contains all build dependencies, configured source trees (git clones in /usr/src), and binaries (make install) for Sugar 0.112 (Download from [http://people.sugarlabs.org/~quozl/sugar-live-build-20171009/ our server]).
+
Use your computer.  See also [[#Getting started with Sugarizer]].
