:[[Fedora 29]] - Release-specific community notes
Fedora 20's GNOME3 default graphical software installer tool fails to find Sugar, reportedly as Sugar is not considered to be an "application".
 
 
 
[https://fedorahosted.org/yumex/ Yum Extender] finds Sugar by searching for "Groups".
 
 
 
Yum Extender is the default graphical software installer tool in certain Ferdora Desktop Environments, for instance XFCE, and is found in ''Applications Menu -> Administration -> Yum Extender''.
 
 
 
If not installed, use the default software installer tool to search for and install ''yumex''. See also [http://www.yumex.dk/p/documnetation.htm YumEx documentation].
 
 
 
Open Yum Extender. '' Package Filters'' are found on the line below the main search bar. Use the Package Filter buttons to select "Groups"
 
 
 
The navigation pane on the left, now lists all Package Groups in alphbetical order.
 
Near the foot of the list, press the "+" to open "Sugar Desktop Environment".
 
 
 
This will reveal two "Groups". Place a check in the box for "Sugar Desktop Environment". Review the selection in the right hand pane.
 
 
 
At the foot of the Yum Extender window, "Install All" will mark all packages for installation.
 
 
 
Now press "Apply" to have all necessary packages and dependencies installed, together with a useful selection of Activities.
 
 
 
In order to be able to use ''Sugar-runner'', enter sugar-runner in the search field, press "Enter", mark it for installation and press "Apply".
 
 
 
 
 
Later (if desired) you can return to Yum Extender and install further packages within "Additional Sugar Activities"
 
 
 
 
 
<!-- on , from the Applications Menu, select Administration, select Software.
 
Select (top item) Package collections, scroll down to
 
 
 
:::'''Sugar Desktop Environment'''<br> <span style="color: gray">sugar-desktop</span>
 
 
 
Installing this will automatically draw in a useful selection of Activities.
 
 
 
Alternatively or additionally, from the Applications Menu, select Administration, select Software. Enter '''Sugar''' in the search field.
 
 
 
Among all the PackWith ''sugar-desktop'' and ''sugar-runner'' installed you have two simple ways of running Sugar.

==Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin==
 
 
 
Fedora spins are alternative versions of Fedora, tailored for various types of users. The Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin, http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/, is the variant of Fedora, with [[Sugar on a Stick]] components included.
 
 
 
While the Spin is optimized for installation on a USB thumbdrive ("stick"), it can be installed to a hard drive by following the Fedora installation process documented [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ here].
