There are several options for setting up the Sugar environment for development, depending on what equipment you have;
−
* Install Sugar on [[Ubuntu]], [[Fedora]], or [[Debian]], using apt or dnf;
+
 
−
* From Windows. macOS or iOS, run Sugar in a virtual machine;
+
{| class="wikitable"
−
* Live boot from [[SoaS|Sugar on a Stick]];
+
|-
−
* or ''better yet'', use Sugar Live Build containing Sugar 0.112, which can be booted from hard drive, flash drive, and optical media, automatically starting Sugar without persistence; or can be installed as a virtual machine, with persistence and password protection, and contains all build dependencies, configured source trees (git clones in /usr/src), and binaries (make install) for Sugar 0.112 (Download from [http://people.sugarlabs.org/~quozl/sugar-live-build-20171009/ our server]).
