There are two ways to use Sugar on your own computer. SOAS (Sugar on a Stick) is a USB flash drive with Sugar which can be booted on your computer but does not change anything on your hard drive. The second way is to free some space on your hard drive and install a distribution of GNU/Linux which supports Sugar. The method allows you to choose your normal operating system or GNU/Linux with Sugar during boot.
==Sugar on a Stick==
The SoaS download is found here: '''[[Sugar on a Stick]]'''. Basic instructions are found below:

The instructions below are based on the Ubuntu Web page at <http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx>.
# '''Prepare''': These instructions are for '''32-bit''' and '''64-bit''' processors.<br><br>
# '''Download''' the latest [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads|Sugar on a Stick]] .iso file.<br><br>
# '''Load''': <br>Here is a simple way to load a bootable USB on a Mac.<br>
## Enter the Terminal: <code>/Applications/Utilities/Terminal</code>.
## Type <code>diskutil list</code>. You should see all the disk drives you have inserted into your computer.
## Insert the disk drive to which you want to write Sugar on a Stick.
## Type <code>diskutil list</code> again. You should see that your USB drive has been added to the list. If not, wait a while and repeat.
## Type <code>hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o <<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>>.img <<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>></code> to convert the image into a bootable format.
## Type <code>sudo diskutil unmountDisk <<i>device name</i>></code> to unmount the disk (it will not be ejected).
## Type <code>sudo dd if=<<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>>.img.dmg of=<<i>device name</i>> bs=1m</code>. <code>sudo</code> will ask for your password, and then <code>dd</code> will start writing the disk file.
## When <code>dd</code> finishes writing the disk file, type <code>sudo diskutil eject <<i>device name</i>></code>.
# '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer, then reboot and press and hold the Option key while rebooting. You should see a list of all the EFI-recognizable USB drives that can be bootstrapped. If Sugar on a Stick is not one such drive, it cannot be bootstrapped: you need rEFInd (a fork of rEFIt).<br>

The method allows you to choose your normal operating system or GNU/Linux with Sugar during boot.

These may be adjusted depending on your preferences and device capacity (see [[LiveOS image]]). SoaS 10 can be squeezed into a 1 GB device with '''160''' and '''170'''. On a 4 GB device, one might use '''1000''' and '''1600''' for the size arguments.
