{{Note/note|
 
* '''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 {{Code|rm&nbsp;-rf&nbsp;~/.sugar}} in 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 entering {{Code|ls&nbsp;-a}} in Terminal.
 
* '''When cloning a customized VM''', in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use {{Code|rm&nbsp;~/.sugar/default/owner.key*}} in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.}}

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 which operating systems support Sugar.

VirtualBox.pngVirtualBox

Download: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html

Importing VM:

  • Mac OS X: "File" -> "Import Apppliance..." + "open appliance"... + select the .ovf file.

Pre-assembled virtual machines For the latest, see the following pages:

Installing VirtualBox in F21

  • files to download
Details of the install

Some Suggestions on Using VirtualBox

  • Export your appliances to an external USB hard disk
    This functions like the Mac Application "Time Machine"
    Save each exported Appliance in a folder marked with the name and date of export.
    You can then import this Appliance to restore the state of the Appliance on that date.
  • Run an Existing VirtualBox Appliance from an external USB Hard Drive
    Portable, Individual Copy for Student, Move between separate Computers.
    1. copy-paste the xxxx.vmdk file from /(User)/Virtualbox/HardDisks/xxxx.vmdk to a Folder on an external USB HD
    2. Menu: Machine>New>continue>Name>Operating System>Version/Memory/Continue>Use existing hard disk>[chose xxxx.vmdk on an External USB HD]> Start.
  • Note Running from a USB Memory Stick Crawls, VERY slowly - not practical.
  • Testing of appliance running from an external USB Hard Disk
Appears to depend on the Speed of the Host Machine: (needs farther testing)
  1. Very Slow - Fedora-13-Soas/VB 3.2.12 on Windows XP SP2/ EeePC 1000HE 12/26/2010 satellit
  2. Very Slow - Trisquel-3-sugar/VB 3.2.12 on Windows XP SP2/ EeePC 1000HE 12/26/2010 satellit
  3. Acceptable- Fedora-13-Soas/VB 4.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 /hp Pavillion Turion 64x2 laptop 12/26/2010 satellit
  4. Acceptable- Trisquel-3-sugar/VB 4.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 /hp Pavillion Turion 64x2 laptop 12/26/2010 satellit
