Introduction

This page presents how to run Sugar with Docker.

You'll be able to run Sugar on your computer without having to install the Sugar environment.

Requirements : GNU/Linux, 64bits processor, Docker, Graphical Display Docker allows to run programs using specific operating system onto every computer. You can run a Sugar container using Fedora onto your computer without having to be on Fedora.
