How to install Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu

NOT Recommended

There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see a list for 0.90), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the Sweets or virtual appliance methods above instead.

In particular, there is no compatible web browser included, though there is a workaround.

However, if you wish to to install Sugar on Ubuntu:

click on Ubuntu Software Center,
search for Sugar,
click on sugar-emulator or sugar,
click on Install,
if asked about other required applications, click to install.

Sugar will be downloaded and installed.

To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.

See how to create a desktop icon that runs Sugar full screen.

How to install Sugar on Ubuntu 11.10

Ubuntu has updated Software Center and now only 0.88.1 sugar is offered. Tested 14:44, 4 March 2012 (EST) --User:Satellit

This is not reproducible. Tested 6th March, ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso md5sum c396dd0f97bd122691bdb92d7e68fde5 on VirtualBox, with "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" to install all updates. Result was that Sugar versions 0.84, 0.86, 0.88, and 0.90 were all offered by Ubuntu Software Centre. A user would naturally install 0.90 as the latest. --Quozl 20:38, 5 March 2012 (EST)
