These are the steps for installing Sugar on a Stick on a USB/SD device.
This page is transcluded to various installation instruction pages.</noinclude>
<ol start="0">
<li> '''Download''' the latest [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads | Sugar on a Stick]] .iso file.<br><br></li>
<li> '''Prepare''': (with '''root''' user permissions)
<ul><li> Create a mount point directory: {{Code|mkdir /media/soas}}</li>
<li> Mount the .iso file as a disk: {{Code|mount '''/path/to/source'''.iso /media/soas/}}</li>
<li> Insert a USB stick of 2 GB or greater capacity into your computer.</li>
<li> Use the {{Code|blkid}} or {{Code|df -Th}} command to get the USB device node name.</li>
{{Show| You should see something like the following:
