=== For Mac OS X Users ===

Apple Macintosh computers ~~with an Intel Processor~~ are capable of running Sugar ~~on a Stick v2 Blueberry~~. Mac ~~computers~~ with powerPC ~~processors need a different flavor. See below for using~~ Sugar with powerPC.

Apple Macintosh computers are capable of running the Sugar Learning Platform.

''You must have an Intel processor to run blueberry and strawberry disk images.''

''See [[#Older Mac with powerPC processor | Using Sugar with powerPC]] if you do not have an intel processor.''

'''To identify the Mac's processor''' Choose '''Apple menu''' > About This Mac. The processor type ~~appears~~ at the top of the list. ~~''You must have an Intel processor to run Sugar disk images. See below for using Sugar with older Macs.''~~

'''To identify the Mac's processor and OS X version''' Choose '''Apple menu''' > About This Mac. The version and processor type appear at the top of the list.

'''To calculate a file's SHA-1 checksum'''

Open the Terminal Utility and type ~~the following code~~ into the Terminal Window. Press the return key to run the command.

Open the Terminal Utility and type into the Terminal Window. Press the return key to run the command.

*Mac OS version ≥10.6~~$ <code>~~ shasum ~/Downloads/soas-2-blueberry.iso</code>

*Mac OS version ≥10.6 type the following ''shasum ~/Downloads/soas-2-blueberry.iso''

* Mac OS version ≤10.5~~$ <code>~~ openssl sha1 ~/Downloads/soas-2-blueberry.iso~~</code>~~

* Mac OS version ≤10.5 type the following ''openssl sha1 ~/Downloads/soas-2-blueberry.iso''

* Compare the result to the official [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/SHA1SUM SHA-1 checksum] stored at Sugar Labs.

'''To install Sugar onto a Stick'''

* Download the ~~image-writer for Mac OS~~ http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/image-writer-mac

* Download the [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/image-writer-mac image-writer for Mac computers ]

* Verify the file was downloaded properly ''by calculating its [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/SHA1SUM SHA-1 checksum]'' For protection against tampering and poor transmission errors, '''you should always compare the checksum of each download'''.

* Eject all USB drives. Insert the flash drive you wish to install Sugar on a Stick. '''WARNING:''' your flash drive will be wiped in the next step! All partitions will be erased.

* Open the Terminal Utility and type into the Terminal Window. Press the return key to run the command. ''cd Downloads; python image-writer-mac soas-2-blueberry.iso''

* Open the Terminal Utility and type into the Terminal Window. Press the return key to run the command. ''cd Downloads; python image-writer-mac soas-2-blueberry.iso''

*It is possible to download Sugar on a Stick and flash usb drives with a powerPC Mac.

*It is also possible to develop Sugar Activities with a powerPC Mac.

*The use of powerPC Mac as a School Sever has not been tested.

Fedora Core has been ported to run on the powerPC processor~~, the stick portion of~~ Sugar on a Stick has not. By booting Fedora on your powerPC Mac, you change it into a Fedora machine. You may then install Sugar directly -''yum''.

Fedora Core has been ported to run on the powerPC processor. Sugar on a Stick has not been ported. By booting Fedora on your powerPC Mac, you change it into a Fedora machine. You may then install Sugar directly -''yum''.

The use of intel processor emulation on a powerPC Mac has not been tested. Due to aging speeds, installing Fedora and Sugar directly onto powerPC Mac will be the most productive. See the Linux section for more details.
