Download locations

The download is a CD-ROM disc image .iso file (380 MiB), which could be burned to a blank CD, and booted as a LiveCD to demonstrate Sugar (while no work or changes will be saved after shutdown). When the image is loaded to a USB storage device, it can be used to boot a computer into the Sugar environment and save one's work on the USB key without touching the computer's hard disc.

  • Help save our bandwidth. Please download via BitTorrent, if possible.

Confirming a proper download

A SHA hash is used to determine if the file downloaded properly. The SHA1SUM hash only for the Strawberry release is:

41b08c93a65cc1e38286b9f8980f51528a36761d

You can check the SHA1SUM from the GNU/Linux shell:

sha1sum soas-strawberry.iso

If the hash matches the number above, then you can be reasonably sure that the file downloaded properly. You can check out a video demonstrating the process here: [1]

Latest experimental builds

Remember: These builds are alpha quality; that means unstable and likely to frustrate everyone but developers and development testers. A new image structure is currently in development and will be made available soon.
