==Sugar on Windows==
No one has ported Sugar to Windows (that we know of) but you can run Sugar in an emulator on top of a Windows System.
'''Note:''' Alternatively, you can boot your Windows machine with a Sugar LiveCD or LiveUSB—this will enable you to run Sugar without making any modifications to your Windows machine. See [[Supported_systems#Starch]].)
'''Note:''' The Wine Activity lets you run many Windows applications from within Sugar.
=== A Sugar installer for Windows ===
Wade Brainerd wrote a simple Sugar installer for Windows:
[http://dev.laptop.org/~wadeb/OLPC-XO-Software-8.2.0-Setup.exe OLPC-XO-Software-8.2.0-Setup.exe]
It installs/uninstalls a working Sugar environment (based on Ton van Overbeek's QEMU—See below) with just a few clicks.
The installer was built using the open source installer creator NSIS (nsis.sourceforge.net). The installer script can be found here:
[http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/wadeb/wininstall/.git wininstall/.git]
'''Note to build administrators:''' NSIS exists for Linux, so this process of creating Windows installers for Sugar could be automated.
=== Running Sugar in an emulator ===
* [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/019643.html Tom van Overbeek describes how to run Sugar using QEMU]
