=== 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]].

==Matrix of Sugar solutions==

There are many ways to run Sugar:

* As a [[#Starch|~~separate~~ disk image]] on an existing machine ~~(Please see [[Documentation/Try_Sugar|Try Sugar]] for examples of running Sugar on top of other systems, e.g., MS-Windows)~~;

* As a [[#Starch|complete disk image]] on an existing machine;

* As a [[#Sucrose|session]] on a Linux system; or

* As part of a ~~[[#Systems|~~complete hardware-software platform]].

* As part of a complete hardware-software platform.

== Getting the Sugar sources ==

Distributors can find the latest sources for the sucrose components [[~~ReleaseTeam~~/~~CurrentRelease~~/~~Sucrose#Getting_the_sources~~|here]]. Each [~~http://sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Roadmap#Schedule sucrose roadmap~~] ~~entry~~ has as ~~well~~ links to the release pages of earlier releases.

Distributors can find the latest sources for the sucrose components [[Development Team/Release/Modules|here]]. Each [[{{Current Stable Release}}| release page]] has as links to the release pages of earlier releases.

==Updating Sugar to the ~~Latest Version~~==

==Updating Sugar to the latest version==

=== XO laptops ===

* [[OLPC:Releases]]

* [https://sugardextrose.org/ Dextrose development site] - [[Dextrose]]

~~[[Image:Ubuntu.jpg]]~~

==Looking at Sugar variants==

==~~=Ubuntu=~~==

~~Updated sucrose packages are usually published in a PPA:~~ See [[~~Community/Distributions/Ubuntu#Sugar_on_Ubuntu_8.04|here~~]] for ~~details~~.

See [[Sugar System Stack]] for a picture of the software stack.

If you want up-to-the-minute freshness (and brokenness) you can use [[DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild|jhbuild]] to build from source instead of the released packages. Follow the instructions [[DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild#Creating_an_xsession_for_Sugar-jhbuild|here]] to install sugar-jhbuild as an xsession option.

===Starch===

[[Image:~~Debian~~.jpg]]

[[Image:Sugar-on-CD-USB.jpg]]

~~===Debian===~~

Sucrose packages are usually updated in unstable. These packages migrate to testing after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].

[[Taxonomy#Starch.28es.29:_A_complete_disk_image_for_Sugar|Starch]] is a complete disk image for Sugar.

~~If you want up-to-the-minute freshness (and brokenness) you can use~~ [[~~DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild|jhbuild]] to build from source instead of the released packages.~~

~~[[Image:Fedora.jpg]]~~

~~===OLPC XO-1 (Fedora)===~~

~~==== Update to the Latest Version ====~~

~~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:~~

# ~~olpc-update 703~~

~~'''Note:''' Now you can do this by means of the graphical [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Control_Panel 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~~.

~~</nowiki></pre>~~
