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.<br>
''You must have an Intel processor to run blueberry and strawberry disk images.''<br>
''See [[#Older Mac with powerPC processor | Using Sugar with powerPC]] if you do not have an intel processor.''
'''To identify the Mac's processor'''<br>Choose '''Apple menu''' > About This Mac. The processor type appears at the top of the list.<br> ''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'''<br>Choose '''Apple menu''' > About This Mac. The version and processor type appear at the top of the list.<br>

*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<!--removed <code> tag for readability on Mac-->''
* 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.

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''.

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.
