If you use Linux, your best bet is to install [[Development Team/Jhbuild|sugar-jhbuild]].  You will be able to develop in your native environment, treating Sugar as just another desktop application.


If you run MacOS X or Windows, you will need to set up an emulator.  For setup instructions and links to pre-configured virtual machines, see [[VirtualBox]].
Please see [[Downloads | Get Sugar]] for details on how to best get Sugar running.


To develop efficiently using an emulator or a secondary machine (such as an OLPC XO), find an editor which supports editing files over a SFTP connection. [http://www.openkomodo.com/ Komodo Edit] with the Remote Drive Tree extension is a good example.
If you decide to use a Virtual Machine (VM) or a secondary machine (such as an OLPC XO) for testing your activities, an editor with support for editing files over an SFTP connection can come in handy.
