Are you new to Sugar?
The easiest way to get started is to use Sugar on a Stick. Basic instructions are found below. A more detailed Sugar-on-a-Stick Creation Guide is also available.
MS Windows
 |
(1) Prepare: Download the Fedora Live USB Creator from FedoraHosted |
 |
(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso. |
 |
(3) Burn: Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 1 GB or more of free space into your computer and launch Fedora Live USB Creator to create a Sugar-on-a-Stick bootable image. |
| (4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer. |
Detailed installation instructions for Windows and booting instructions are available. There is also a guide to using Sugar on a Stick.
GNU/Linux
GNU/Linux users may want to install the Sugar packages on their favorite distro.
 |
(1) Prepare: Use this script http://bit.ly/livecd-iso-to-disk to create a bootable image. (Run chmod +x livecd-iso-to-disk.sh after you download the script to make it executable.)
|
|
(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso. |
|
(3) Burn: Execute, as the root user, in one command with arguments, the following:
|
| (4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer. |
Detailed installation instructions for GNU/Linux and booting instructions are available. There is also a guide to using Sugar on a Stick.
Apple OSX
DRAFT
 |
(1) Prepare: These instructions are only for 64-bit machines. (To identify processor, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. A small window will appear titled About This Mac. The processor type is displayed in this window. Sugar on a Stick is for the Intel processor only.) You may want to refer to the Virtual Machines instructions below. |
|
(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso. Be sure to download a 64-bit image. |
|
(3) Burn: Does someone have a simple way to burn a Live USB on a Mac? |
| (4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Is this correct?: During the startup sound, press and hold the c key. If the Apple logo appears, Sugar is not booting. Restart and try again. • the c key must be pressed during the startup sound and you must continue to hold it down. • you may release the c key once the Sugar logo appears. |
Alternative installation instructions for OSX Also:[1] and booting instructions are available. There is also a guide to using Sugar on a Stick.
Advanced users
 |
• the Sugar_Creation_Kit • customizing Sugar on a Stick; • a detailed Customization Guide; and • additional instructions for using VirtualBox and other virtual machines. |
Virtual Machines on all platforms
It is recommended that you read README_FIRST before starting.
| (1) Prepare: Download Sun Virtualbox | |
| (2) Download: Download these three files: soas-v3-Mirabelle.mf soas-v3-Mirabelle.ovf soas-v3-Mirabelle.vmdk Note that on some browsers on OSX, the file extensions are reset upon download. You may have to modify them to match those shown above. sugarroot is the root password. | |
| (3) Launch: Virtualbox | |
| (4) Import: soas-v3-Mirabelle.ovf from the Import Appliance option under the File menu. |
Other virtual machine may also work but have not undergone testing with our images.
