Produce your LiveCD by downloading the Sugar on a Stick .iso image from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]] and burning it onto a blank CD.
Produce your LiveCD by downloading the Sugar on a Stick .iso image from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]] and burning it onto a blank CD.
Many computers have built in software which will convert and copy, "burn", an .iso image to a blank CD. Windows 7 contains a built-in Disk Image Burner http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2009/04/13/burn-iso-images-natively-in-windows-7.aspx or use a free utility, like [http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn].
Many computers have built in software which will convert and copy, "burn", an .iso image to a blank CD. In Windows 8 from the File Manager, right click the .iso file and select 'Burn disc image' from the context menu, or use a free utility, like [http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn].

Follow the instructions on [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation]] under the heading
:'''2. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''
On completion you will shutdown your PC. Restart the PC with the newly written USB stick in a USB port. See [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot]] for extra information.
This method is covered in this screenshot tutorial: [[Tutorials/Installation/Create a SoaS v7 Live USB in Windows]] and in this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieIj4aECk88 video] of an earlier version of this process.

This is the second method described on the page [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]]
This is the first method described on the page [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]]
This is a robust method of making a Sugar on a Stick because you are making your LiveUSB from within Sugar, with a LiveCD you have already tested, and all tools are already on the CD.

You do not have to be a paid up member of the Windows community. If you already run a Linux distribution, but are not sure to what extent it supports Sugar, the livecd-iso-to-disk tool will work on any PC which will launch the LiveCD.
You do not have to be a paid up member of the Windows community. If you are running a Linux distribution, the ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' tool will work from the CD, on any PC which will launch the LiveCD.
You may need to spend a bit of time to become familiar with the Sugar environment using your LiveCD, see [[Getting Started/Explore]]. You need to become familiar with the Terminal Activity and how to gain administrative permissions, that is become root. The Help Activity has a chapter on the Terminal.

For expert users, from a running LiveCD, Ctrl+Alt+F2 takes you to a console which could be used to run ''livecd-iso-to-disk''.
To proceed with ''livecd-iso-to-disk'', full instructions are here, [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]], in the method headed:
::'''1. Burn a CD-ROM disc, boot from it, then run the script, ''livecd-iso-to-disk'''''
====with UNetbootin====
It is possible to install Sugar on a Stick with UNetbootin.
There is no persistent storage with this installation method. Software updates, Activities, and documents are not saved between boots, it is recommended mainly for a quick demo of the Sugar Learning Environment.
