The instructions below are based on the Ubuntu Web page at &lt;http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx&gt;.
  −
# '''Prepare''': These instructions are for '''32-bit''' and '''64-bit''' processors.<br><br>
  −
# '''Download''' the latest [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads|Sugar on a Stick]] .iso file.<br><br>
  −
# '''Load''': <br>Here is a simple way to load a bootable USB on a Mac.<br>
  −
## 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 &lt;<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>&gt;.img &lt;<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>&gt;</code> to convert the image into a bootable format.
  −
## Type <code>sudo diskutil unmountDisk &lt;<i>device name</i>&gt;</code> to unmount the disk (it will not be ejected).
  −
## Type <code>sudo dd if=&lt;<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>&gt;.img.dmg of=&lt;<i>device name</i>&gt; 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 &lt;<i>device name</i>&gt;</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).<br>

==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.

  −
* If you have a high-speed Internet connection,<br>'''Fedora with the Sugar graphical learning environment''' may be installed to a hard disk or a a 4 GB USB stick [[Tutorials/Installation/Install with netinstall|with a '''Netinstall CD''']].
   
:- Not a compressed LiveOS image like SoaS, but all of Sugar.
