This is a short guide to show how you can contribute with the Sugar project in a simple way, without dealing with [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Jhbuild sugar-jhbuild], installing libraries and compiling weird things. You can work directly on a Stick (USB Pen Drive). Even more, if you want to work ''faster'' on your real computer you can run it inside a Virtual Machine with [http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page qemu-kvm]
In the below sections are shown the steps that you have to follow to get a complete working Virtual Machine with all the necessary things to start collaborating.

These are the packages needed to run the Virtual Machine with qemu-kvm
sudo yum install qemu qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-tools
sudo yum install qemu qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-tools

* [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Downloads]]
This is the image (32-bits) that you should download to install it on the Virtual Machine.

* After running the last command and setting up your name you will be on Sugar itself
* Open Terminal Activity
* Run this command to lunch the installer
liveinst
* When the installer opens and you reach the partitioning part you have to select to do it manually and create '''just one''' partition with the full space available (4Gb) because otherwise the installer will tell you there is no sufficient space to copy the files required by Fedora 17
* Follow the installation instruction and finally reboot the Virtual Machine
= Running Sugar from the Virtual Machine =
qemu-kvm -hda sugar-on-a-stick.qcow2 -m 1024 -k es
= Install useful packages =
sudo yum install git vim emacs
