These are the steps for installing Sugar on a Stick on a USB/SD device.
This page is transcluded to various installation instruction pages.
- Download the latest Sugar on a Stick .iso file.
- Install the livecd-tools package to obtain the installation script and the SYSLINUX boot loader. Use this command to obtain the installer:
sudo dnf install livecd-tools - Insert a USB stick of 2 GB or greater capacity into your computer.
- With root user permissions at a terminal or console command line, use the command
sudo df -Thorsudo blkidto get the USB device node name. - (Items in angle brackets, such as <MyAccount> are descriptive placeholders.)
- Unmount the USB device filesystem:
umount /run/media/<MyAccount>/<MyUSBdiscMountPoint>- (The
/run/media/<MyAccount>/path is the standard mount point. Other operating systems may use/media/<MyMountPoint>.)
- (The
- (You should have the isomd5sum package installed so that the following installation script can verify the download.)
- Load: Execute the following installation command, as the root user, in one command line with many options:livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 500 --home-size-mb 500 --unencrypted-home /path/to/downloaded.iso /dev/sd?1
- The '
?' in the final parameter represents the target USB device scsi drive node, such assdb1orsdc1, etc., and/path/to/downloaded.isois the location and name of the .iso file. - The operating system will occupy ~960 MB, and the overlay and home size arguments, 500 and 500, were selected to fit in a 2 GB device. These may be adjusted depending on your preferences and device capacity (see LiveOS image). On a 4 GB device, one might use 1000 and 1600 for the size arguments.
The installation transcript should look something like the following: - The '
- Boot: Insert the USB stick into a bootable USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS setup, and then start up the computer.

- To create more Sugar Sticks on other 2 GB or greater USB or SD devices, while running Sugar on a Stick, one may run the Terminal Activity, and execute this command as the root user:livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 500 --home-size-mb 500 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /run/initramfs/livedev /dev/sd?1
- Replace
/dev/sd?1with a new device node for the second USB/SD device that you want to load with Sugar on a Stick.
- To create more Sugar Sticks on other 2 GB or greater USB or SD devices, while running Sugar on a Stick, one may run the Terminal Activity, and execute this command as the root user:
