The instructions below are based on the Ubuntu Web page at <http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx>.

+

# '''Prepare''': These instructions are for '''32-bit''' and '''64-bit''' processors.

+

# '''Download''' the latest [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads|Sugar on a Stick]] .iso file.

+

# '''Load''': Here is a simple way to load a bootable USB on a Mac.

+

## Enter the Terminal: <code>/Applications/Utilities/Terminal</code>.

+

## Type <code>diskutil list</code>. You should see all the disk drives you have inserted into your computer.

+

## Insert the disk drive to which you want to write Sugar on a Stick.

+

## Type <code>diskutil list</code> again. You should see that your USB drive has been added to the list. If not, wait a while and repeat.

+

## Type <code>hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o <Sugar on a Stick image file>.img <Sugar on a Stick image file></code> to convert the image into a bootable format.

+

## Type <code>sudo diskutil unmountDisk <device name></code> to unmount the disk (it will not be ejected).

+

## Type <code>sudo dd if=<Sugar on a Stick image file>.img.dmg of=<device name> bs=1m</code>. <code>sudo</code> will ask for your password, and then <code>dd</code> will start writing the disk file.

+

## When <code>dd</code> finishes writing the disk file, type <code>sudo diskutil eject <device name></code>.

+

# '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer, then reboot and press and hold the Option key while rebooting. You should see a list of all the EFI-recognizable USB drives that can be bootstrapped. If Sugar on a Stick is not one such drive, it cannot be bootstrapped: you need rEFInd (a fork of rEFIt).

* '''Experiment''' with [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/OLPC|Updating XOs]] to the latest ''Sugar on a Stick'' release.

+

+

==Some alternate installations==

+

* Once you download, and then burn or load a Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) .iso file, and boot it, the running Fedora 30 SoaS Live CD/USB may be used to install Fedora with Sugar to a hard disk or a 4 GB USB stick [[Tutorials/Installation/Install with liveinst|with the '''{{Code|liveinst}} command''']].

+

:- You start with a SoaS LiveOS image, and then load an uncompressed version onto the hard disk or USB stick.
