|valign=top|(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso.
USB flash drive.jpg|valign=top|(3) Burn: Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 1 GB or more of free space into your computer and launch Fedora Live USB Creator to create a Sugar-on-a-Stick bootable image.
valign=top|(4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer.

Detailed installation instructions for Windows and booting instructions are available. There is also a guide to using Sugar on a Stick.

GNU/Linux

Gnulinux.png (1) Prepare: Use this script http://bit.ly/livecd-iso-to-disk to create a bootable image. (Run chmod +x livecd-iso-to-disk.sh after you download the script to make it executable.)

(2) Download: Download the Sugar-on-a-Stick iso.
USB flash drive.jpg (3) Burn: Execute, as the root user, in one command with arguments, the following:

./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 200 --home-size-mb 200 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /path/to/source.iso /dev/sd?1

where '?' in the final parameter represents the target bootable device node, such as sdb1 or sdc1, etc.
(4) Boot: Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's BIOS, and then start up the computer.

Detailed installation instructions for GNU/Linux and booting instructions are available. There is also a guide to using Sugar on a Stick.
