| | + | === 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—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—you'll need to install an emulator from which you launch Sugar and one of the [[Emulator image files]]. |

| |
| − | ;LiveCD/LiveUSB:Suitable for trying Sugar without having to install any software on almost any computer—just boot Sugar off of a CD or USB drive. For USB Solutions goto our [[Sugar on a Stick]] project page.
| |
| − | ;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.
| |
| − | ;Emulator:QEMU or VMWare let you run Sugar in an emulator on your computer—you'll need to install an emulator from which you launch Sugar.
| |

| − | ==== Fedora LiveCD/Live USB ====
| |
| − | :Project page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar_Spin
| |
| − | | |
| − | With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably...
| |
| − | | |
| − | * sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
| |
| − | * sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...along with several other activities including Chat support.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :See our [[Sugar_on_a_Stick | Sugar on a Stick page]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Fedora OLPC SIG, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using ''yum install sugar-*'' at a later time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Recent development spins:
| |
| − | ::http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/1/
| |
| − | | |
| − | For more information, please refer to the announcement here:
| |
| − | | |
| − | https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2008-December/msg00061.html
| |
| − | | |
| − | What if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:
| |
| − | | |
| − | :https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/
| |
| − | | |
| − | The liveusb-creator still contains an old link, which is the reason why you'll need to download the spin manually until this gets fixed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Tip of the hat:''' Sebastian Dziallas and the Fedora team
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Fedora on an OLPC XO ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | On an OLPC XO-1 laptop, run olpc-update as root.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Normally you only need to run ''olpc-update'' in the Terminal application with a build number, like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # sudo olpc-update 767
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' Now you can do this by means of the graphical [[olpc:Sugar Control Panel|Sugar Control Panel]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Update to the latest experimental version (a.k.a. Joyride) ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | <big><font color=red>Joyride is for developers; it is not supported. Joyride builds may cause data corruption and in rare cases, even cause hardware damage, so please do not use Joyride on mission-critical systems.</font></big>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Joyride contains all the "bleeding-edge" features that are being debugged for inclusion in the next release.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the Terminal application and type the following, substituting 2469 for the latest version number.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # olpc-update joyride-2469
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''What's the latest version?''' You can find the latest build number (shown above as 1779) at the bottom of http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/
| |
| − | | |
| − | Updates usually takes 10–15 minutes. It's advised that you plug your XO in while Sugar updates itself, then reboot it to see the new OS take effect.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Other Options ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | These are options that can be used with the update command:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # olpc-update --help
| |
| − | <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:
| |
| − | olpc-update 630
| |
| − | olpc-update joyride-1779
| |
| − | olpc-update update.1-700
| |
| − | | |
| − | Options:
| |
| − | -h, --help show this help message and exit
| |
| − | -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
| |
| − | new version.
| |
| − | -u, --usb upgrade from new build on inserted USB stick.
| |
| − | -v display verbose progress information; repeat for more verbose
| |
| − | output.
| |
| − | -q, --quiet don't output anything; use exit status to indicate success.
| |
| − | --version display version and license information.
