=== Ways to run Sugar ===
Determine which of the various methods of running Sugar meet your needs:
* '''Run Sugar pre-installed in a computer'''
*: Some computers come with Sugar pre-installed, most notably the [[olpc:Hardware|OLPC XO laptops]].
*: Some deployments use the [https://sugardextrose.org/ Dextrose] distribution of Sugar.
* '''Boot a Live CD / Live USB pre-installed with Sugar'''
*: Suitable for trying Sugar without having to install any software on almost any computer—just boot Sugar off of a CD or USB drive. '''Note:''' When booting a Live CD, the Journal is not automatically saved on shutdown, because the boot media is readonly. All changes are lost upon shutdown or reboot. This is not a limitation for Live USB installations. See our [[Sugar on a Stick]] project page or other [[:Category:Live USB|Live USB projects]].
* '''Install Sugar'''
*: If you are running one of the currently supported distributions, you can install Sugar using your systems standard package manager, e.g., Synaptic, apt-get, or yum. See [[Fedora#Sugar_Learning_Environment|these instructions]].
*: The [[Harmonic Distribution]] of the Sugar Learning Platform may also appeal to you.
* '''Install an emulator or virtualizer and launch a bootable Sugar disk image file'''
*: [[QEMU]], [[VirtualBox]], or [[VMware]] let you run Sugar in an emulator or by virtualization on your computer—you'll need to install an emulator from which you launch Sugar and one of the [[Emulator image files]].
