Other virtual machines
This is a quick guide to the locations of various forms of Sugar software that can run in QEMU emulation or VMware or VirtualBox virtualization.
You can download installation images (.iso files) for Linux distributions that support Sugar and create your own bootable images with Sugar installed.
See VirtualBox, VMware, or QEMU for more information on how to run an image, and Supported systems for more information on what is available.

- ZyX-LiveInstaller allows you to install Sugar from either a booted Live USB device or Live CD media to a system or external disk. It creates a traditional operating system installation on disk (or removable media such as SD or USB storage devices).
- This program can be useful for installing to a virtualized hard disk. It is not included in builds after soas-v2 Blueberry, so it must be downloaded and installed to use.
- In a running SoaS Terminal session or console, execute the following commands:
suyum install zyx-liveinstaller gparted
