Raspberry Pi are a series of small, low cost, low power computers.

Sugar can be run on a Raspberry Pi. You will need a display, keyboard and mouse.

* using [~~[Ubuntu]~~], ~~see [[~~Ubuntu ~~on rpi3]] for~~ a ~~test report on how to install~~ the ~~MATE desktop~~ and ~~Sugar~~,

As of August 2017, the best to use is Sugar on a Stick, as it has many activities and has regular security updates. Sugar on a Stick is a spin of Fedora.

Other methods are using Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu.

Developers may focus on either Fedora or Debian when setting up a development environment for Sugar on Raspberry Pi, because Sugar development on generic computers is focused on those operating systems.

== How to use Sugar on a Stick (SOAS) on a Raspberry Pi ==

- on another computer, visit [https://arm.fedoraproject.org arm.fedoraproject.org] and download the Sugar on a Stick image,

- write the image to a microSD card, using software such as Fedora Media Writer, Etcher.io, or the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi Fedora Raspberry Pi Documentation], or [https://unetbootin.github.io/ UNetBootin]

- insert the microSD card into the Raspberry Pi, and turn it on,

- answer the post-install questions; time zone, root password, and add a user,

- at the login prompt log in with the added user, and Sugar will start.

=== Security Warning ===

Remote access is pre-enabled through SSH, for both root and any user accounts. Risk can be reduced by choosing strong passwords in the post-install setup questions. Can be fixed after install with Terminal command;

sudo chkconfig sshd off

</nowiki>

=== Security Updates ===

Security updates can be downloaded with Terminal command;

sudo dnf update

</nowiki>

=== Fedora Media Writer ===

How to write an image to microSD card using [https://github.com/MartinBriza/MediaWriter/releases Fedora Media Writer (FMW)], which is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu Linux as a flatpak, or from source.

- download the raw.xz file

- select and extract, result is a raw file

- start Fedora Media Writer

- select "Custom"

- select the raw file

- Insert microSD in Mini Card Reader and insert in USB port

- Choose rpi3 from drop-down in Fedora Media Writer

- Write microSD
