"VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.

With [[wikipedia:VirtualBox|VirtualBox<sup>®</sup>]] one can run Sugar in a window on Microsoft Windows, Intel-based Apple Macintosh, or Linux host computers from a virtual machine window. [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/overview/index.html VirtualBox overview]


* '''VirtualBox Appliances Must Be Cleared or Cloned'''
{{Admon/note|
 
* '''When making a new VM''', to clear the Sugar Journal of old entries and to avoid identity conflicts among copies of the VM, enter the command {{Code|rm ~ rf /.sugar}} in the Terminal activity. Then shutdown the VM. This will clear all Learner information on the VM and let you start with a fresh install. Skipping this will result in collisions in the Neighborhood view of the Jabber network between separate copies of the appliance. Verify the presence of the '''.sugar''' directory by entering {{Code|ls -a}} in Terminal.
{{Admon/note|Note-2 VERY IMPORTANT:|'''To Make a new VM'''(clear the journal) enter the command "rm ~ rf /.sugar" in terminal; then sudo su, (password) then in root terminal: "shutdown -h now" . <small>This will clear the user information on your VM and let you start with a new install. '''This MUST BE DONE''' or collisions on f1 neighborhood view of the jabber network will occur between separate copies of the VB appliance. </small>do '''ls -a''' in terminal to be sure that '''.sugar''' is visible in terminal. '''To Clone a VM''' ''or UNUSER'' (keep journal and installed .xo applications) use "rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*"  in sugar terminal; then sudo su, (password) "shutdown -h now"}}
* '''When cloning a customized VM''', in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use {{Code|rm&nbsp;~/.sugar/default/owner.key*}} in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.}}
