== For Mac/OSX Users ==

The procedure for Mac OS/X ~~Users follows~~ the one for Linux ~~Users, but differs in some parts~~. ~~Additionally,~~ Mac ~~Users~~ should be aware that they ~~are~~ able to prepare their flash drive on a Mac, ~~while booting~~ the ~~flash drive itself on a Mac may not necessarily work. This depends especially on their~~ hardware~~'s generation. In this case~~, ~~using a boot helper as explained in~~ the ~~wiki might help. Please pay attention when running the dd command, as it will wipe your~~ flash drive!

The procedure for Mac OS/X users is similar to the one for Linux users. Mac users should be aware that they may be able to prepare their flash drive on a Mac, but depending on the generation of the hardware used, they may need to use another computer to test whether the prepared flash drive works.

* Download the Sugar on a Stick (Blueberry) live image from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso

* Open a terminal and run: ''diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX'' (whereas X is the device number)

* Run: ''sudo dd if=./soas-2-blueberry.iso of=/dev/diskX bs=512''

* Run: ''sudo dd if=./soas-2-blueberry.iso of=/dev/diskX bs=512'' (Please pay attention when running the dd command, as it will wipe your flash drive!)

* Eject your flash drive by running: ''diskutil eject /dev/diskX''
