With VirtualBox® one can run Sugar in a window on Microsoft Windows, Intel-based Apple Macintosh, or Linux host computers from a virtual machine (VM) window. VirtualBox overview
- A good solution for running sugar on Macintosh computers
- RECOMMENDED: Oracle VirtualBox downloads
- VirtualBox downloads Windows/Linux/Intel Macs
- 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
rm -rf ~/.sugarin 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 enteringls -ain Terminal. - When cloning a customized VM, in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use
rm -rf ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. enter in root terminal:su (password) shutdown -h nowThis leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files. - To clear the Sugar Journal:
rm -rf ~/.sugar/default/datastoreThis may be needed if the Journal becomes clogged with too many entries. USE WITH CAUTION'
