The emulator for the Sugar Learning Environment sugar-emulator-0.88.1-1.fc13 (no arch) |
- and any or all of the Activities.
- Sugar will be available in your Applications -> Education menu.
Sugar will run in a Xephyr window within your current environment. You will have full access to the Sugar features, and may even run multiple instances to simulate a local collaboration group.
- Adjust the default window size for Sugar by editing the menu item for Sugar to
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 1200x900- to match the XO reflective screen resolution
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 832x624- approximates the display proportions of the XO laptops, closely matching the toolbar, for example.
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 600x500- fits the screen for a 10-inch netbook
/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -f- full screen on netbook
You may also collaborate with others in the jabber.sugarlabs.org server Neighborhood (Press <F1> to see the Neighborhood view.)

Fedora OLPC
The Fedora OLPC SIG, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might later be installed using
yum install sugar-*
- Here's a video of the process http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmrtlyyCFo
- CJB suggests: as root, run: yum -y groupinstall "Sugar Desktop Environment"
The command to run Sugar is as root otherwise you may get this behavior.
