==Restart, '''Play.''' Restart, '''Mac.'''==
Get a hands on experience with Sugar by booting from a CD. Restart and return to your Mac, completely unchanged. This is the easiest way to get a '''Taste of Sugar''' on a Mac.
<br><br>

'''To Get Started''' pick a flavor:<br>
* [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-1-strawberry.iso Strawberry v1] for intel processor
* [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso Blueberry v2] for intel processor
* [http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/ Mirabelle beta] for intel processor
* [[#3 | Linux]] for powerPC processor

[[#4 | Click to discover the processor]] at the heart of your Mac.

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

'''To calculate a file's SHA-1 checksum'''<br>
<!-- "md5" will work too, but creates a different checksum e.g. ''$ md5 /Downloads/soas-2-blueberry.iso'' -->
Open the Terminal Utility and type into the Terminal Window. Press the return key to run the command.<br>
''Replace mySugarFlavor with the name of the file you downloaded.''
*Mac OS version ≥10.6<br> <big> <code> shasum ~/Downloads/mySugarFlavor.iso</code></big>
* Mac OS version ≤10.5<br> <big> <code> openssl sha1 ~/Downloads/mySugarFlavor.iso</code></big>
* Compare the result to the official [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/SHA1SUM SHA-1 checksum] stored at Sugar Labs.<br><br>

'''To burn onto CD'''<br>
* Open the Disk Utility. Drag the downloaded .iso file to the bottom of the list.
* Select your flavor .iso in the list, then press the Burn button.
* Insert a blank CD disc when prompted.
The CD created is '''bootable in most PC'''s including Intel Mac. Please burn many copies and share them freely.
<br><br>

'''To try a Taste of Sugar'''<br>
* Insert the CD you burned.
* Press the Power Button on the Intel Mac. If a dialog box appears, press the Restart Button.
* During the startup sound, press and hold the letter C.<br> If the apple logo appears, Sugar is not booting. Restart and try again.
**the C key must be pressed during the startup sound and you must continue to hold it down.
**you may release the c key once the Sugar logo appears.

A Taste of Sugar is a safe read-only experience that doesn't write or remember anything. Unfortunately, this means the Journal is not saved. Nothing is saved. '''All learner progress is lost when the machine reboots.''' A Taste of Sugar is only a demonstration and is not intended to be used on a recurring basis. See [[#2 | Sugar in a Window]] or [[#3 | Sugar on Linux]] to install Sugar for a learner.
