Summary
You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
Installation
As of 2012-02, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.
Until this is fixed, try one of these options:
- use Sweets on Ubuntu, recommended for Ubuntu 11.04, see below,
- use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see below,
- use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, from the Ubuntu repositories, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see below, or
- install from Sugar source.
How to install Sweets on Ubuntu
Install packages on an Ubuntu system so that you may run Sugar.
See How to install Sweets on Ubuntu.
How to install a virtual appliance
Install a virtual appliance based on Ubuntu:
- the Ubuntu 11.04 Sweets Distribution Sugar 0.94 virtual appliance,
- a tutorial on How to Import a virtual Appliance into VirtualBox.
There are other virtual appliances based on other distributions, which can be imported into virtualisation software on Ubuntu.
- see Emulator image files.

There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu, many of which have been fixed in a later version, so we recommend the Sweets or virtual appliance methods instead. There is only firefox offered as a browser and it is not fully "sugarized" and will not install .xo files correctly as it cannot access the sugar-journal
