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, try one of these options:

use Sweets on Ubuntu, recommended for Ubuntu 11.04, see below,
use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see below,
use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, from the Ubuntu repositories, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see below, or
install from Sugar source.

Install packages on an Ubuntu system so that you may run Sugar.

Install a virtual appliance based on Ubuntu:

There are other virtual appliances based on other distributions, which can be imported into virtualisation software on Ubuntu.

There are many problems with Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu, many of which have been fixed in a later version, so we recommend the Sweets or virtual appliance methods instead.

To install Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu 11.10:

Sugar will be downloaded and installed.

To start Sugar, click on Dash, then search for Sugar.

There are many problems with Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu, many of which have been fixed in a later version, so we recommend the Sweets or virtual appliance methods instead.

To install Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu 11.04:

Sugar will be downloaded and installed.

To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.
