Summary
You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
As of 2012-02, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories. Until this is fixed, your choices are:
- use Sweets on Ubuntu,
- switch to the Trisquel distribution,
- switch to some other distribution,
- use a virtual appliance,
- use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, using the Ubuntu repositories, or;
- install from Sugar source.
How to install a Sugar virtual appliance
This is covered in a section of the Sugar Creation Kit page:
