Determine which of the various methods of running Sugar meet your needs:
* '''Pre-installed Sugar:'''
* '''Run Sugar pre-installed in a computer'''
*: Some computers come with Sugar pre-installed, most notably the OLPC XO-1 laptop.
*: Some computers come with Sugar pre-installed, most notably the [[olpc:Hardware|OLPC XO laptops]].
* '''Live CD / Live USB:'''
*: Some deployments use the [https://sugardextrose.org/ Dextrose] distribution of 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.
* '''Boot a Live CD / Live USB pre-installed with Sugar'''
* '''Install Sugar:'''

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]].
*: 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.
* '''Install Sugar'''
*: Make custom Fedora F11/F12 Sugar Install or Live DVD/CD's [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora#Make_you_own_custom_Fedora_F11.2F12_Install_or_Live_DVD.2FCD.27s]
*: 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]].
* '''Emulator/Virtualizer:'''
*: 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]].

===Starch===
[[Image:Sugar-on-CD-USB.jpg]]
[[Taxonomy#Starch.28es.29:_A_complete_disk_image_for_Sugar|Starch]] is a complete disk image for Sugar.
===Sucrose===
[[Taxonomy#Sucrose:_The_interface.2C_plus_a_set_of_demonstration_activities|Sucrose]] is the Sugar interface plus a set of demonstration activities. System maintainers should visit the [[Packaging Team]] page.
Sucrose packages are usually updated in unstable. These packages migrate to testing after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all here].
