As of 2013-03, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.
Until this is fixed, Sugar can be installed as follows:
   1. use Sweets-distribution on Ubuntu, recommended for Ubuntu
     http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Sweets#Ubuntu_and_its_derivates
   2. use a -VirtualBox- virtual appliance, Ready to import into -VirtualBox-
     http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Sugar-in-Virtualization
   3. use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, from the Ubuntu repositories, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see below,

Welcome the [[https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam|Ubuntu Sugar Team]]. We maintain the [[http://sugarlabs.org|Sugar]] Learning Platform on Ubuntu. Sugar promotes sharing, collaborative learning, and reflection. Children and their teachers have the opportunity to use computers on their own terms; they are free to reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities. === Use sweets-distribution with Ubuntu ===

Use this browser '''Surf-115.xo''': http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo (sugar-browse does not work)

 Hint to install Surf: download Surf-115.xo to a USB (outside of sugar); Start USR Insert this USB and drag-drop it into the USR sugar-journal.
 
Sugar is available as menu item Education/Sugar; but it is not full screen and not all of the Sugar screen is visible.

 For '''Full Screen''' right click on menu item and save to desktop, then open properties of icon on desktop and

 change command to "sugar-emulator -f" (full screen option) Start Sugar from this icon...

'''Step 2''': Burn your Ubuntu Sugar Remix CD
 After the ISO file has finished downloading, you will have to burn the file to a CD. The ISO file will most likely require a special application to burn. Click the link below to find detailed instructions. [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | How to burn a CD image]].

'''Step 3a''': Install Ubuntu Sugar Remix
 When the CD is ready, simply put it in your CD drive, restart your computer and follow the instructions that will appear on your screen. Don't forget that you can create more copies and pass the CD to as many people as you like.

'''Step 3b''': For netbooks without a CD
 Use System/Administration/"USB Startup Disk Creator" in a Ubuntu Desktop to Make an Installer USB. Use this USB to install USR on your netbook.

== Installing Ubuntu Sugar Remix on Ubuntu 10.10 ==
On Ubuntu 10.10, the ubuntu-sugar-remix package is available in Universe, so you do not need to add the apt repository to install it. Just:

{{{
  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sugar-remix
}}}

and you're good to go.

== What is Ubuntu Sugar Remix? ==
The vision for the Ubuntu Sugar Remix is to provide students preK to 12 with a learning platform. We envision younger children using the Award wining [[http://www.sugarlabs.org | Sugar]] Learning Platform and allowing older students to move to a standard Ubuntu desktop as they become cognitively ready, with an easy settings change.

USR will work on a wide variety of hardware, either installed on the hard drive or on a portable storage device, such as a USB stick. In our vision of the future USR will interact easily and seamlessly with an open source server environment (such as the XS project from Sugar) to provide backup and portfolio support (e.g. Mahara), collaboration, educational resources (e.g. local copies of Wikipedia) , Learning Management System (e.g. Moodle) and Student Information System (e.g. SchoolTool) types supports.

USR will allow students to assist students in accessing the internet and all its educational resources but will also allow them to work and learn in situations where they do not have internet access.
