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.

- Alternatively, you can download from one of the following locations. Please pick a download server that is close to your current location.
| Location | Link |
| U.S.A. master | http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-1-strawberry.iso |
| U.S.A. mirror | http://download2.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-1-strawberry.iso |
| Europe mirror | http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/software/sugarlabs/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso |
| Netherlands mirror | http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Sugar/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso |
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.
- The newest snapshot releases of Sugar on a Stick v2 are available from: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/
- See the wiki for specific boot instructions.
