=== 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&mdash;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&mdash;you'll need to install an emulator from which you launch Sugar and one of the [[Emulator image files]].

==Supported distributions==
There are many ways to run Sugar: as a [[#Starch|separate disk image]] on an existing machine; as a [[#Sucrose|session]] on a Linux system; or as part of a [[#Systems|complete hardware-software platform]].

==Updating to the Latest Joyride Version==
==Looking at Sugar variants==


==== Run olpc-update ====
See [[Sugar System Stack]] for a picture of the software stack.


Normally you only need to run ''olpc-update'' with a build number, like this:
===Starch===


# olpc-update 703
[[Image:Sugar-on-CD-USB.jpg]]
or
# olpc-update joyride-1779
There are other options. For example:


# olpc-update --help
[[Taxonomy#Starch.28es.29:_A_complete_disk_image_for_Sugar|Starch]] is a complete disk image for Sugar.
<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:
===Sucrose===
olpc-update 630
olpc-update joyride-1779
olpc-update update.1-700


Options:
[[Taxonomy#Sucrose:_The_interface.2C_plus_a_set_of_demonstration_activities|Sucrose]] is the Sugar interface plus a set of demonstration activities.  System maintainers should visit the [[Packaging Team]] page.

  -f, --full    skip incremental update attempt.
  --force      force update to an unsigned build.
  -r, --reboot  reboot after a successful update.
  --hints=FILE name of json-encoded hints dictionary identifying the desired
