# '''Download''' the latest [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads | Sugar on a Stick]] .iso file.<br><br>
# '''Load''': <br>Here is a simple way to create a SOAS usb flash drive.<br>
## Open a shell (command line interpreter)
## Type <code>df -Th</code>. This shows all of the mounted partitions (on your computer's hard drive.)
## Insert a USB flash drive (or SD Card) with 2 GB or more of free space into your computer
## After a few moment type <code>df -Th</code> again. You should see an added line for your USB drive. Check the size of the drive (e.g. 3.7GB for a 4GB drive) and its type: vfat to confirm this line refers to your usb flash drive. The first field on this line, e.g. /dev/sdb1, identifies the partition. For dd command, you will use /dev/sdb [this field without the partition number].
## type <code>cd ~/Downloads</code>. Then type <code>ls Fedora*.iso</code> Assuming you downloaded to the Downloads folder, this will show the SOAS iso.
## Type <code>sudo dd if=Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-25-1.3.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M</code> with the correct if (input file) and of (output device). The dd command erases the 'of' device so make sure it doesn't say /dev/sda which would erase your computer's hard drive!!! Also make sure you have saved any valuable information on the usb flash drive.
# '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a bootable USB port on your computer. Set the option to "boot from USB" in your computer's <abbr title="Basic Input/Output System">BIOS</abbr> setup, and then start up the computer.<br><br>

{{Note/important|Important change since Fedora 24 SoaS|The ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' installation script is no longer packaged in the SoaS .iso file.  Starting with Fedora 24, if you want a Live USB with persistent storage, you must install the ''livecd-tools'' package to obtain the installation script and the SYSLINUX boot loader. Use this command to obtain the installer: {{Code|sudo dnf install livecd-tools}}}}
<li> Insert a USB stick of 2 GB or greater capacity into your computer.</li>
<li> With [[olpc:Root|'''root''' user]] permissions at a terminal or [[Wikipedia:System_console|console]] command line, use the command {{Code|df -Th}} or {{Code|blkid}} to get the USB device node name.</li>
