  1. Download its zip file.
  2. Unzip it onto the root of a USB flash drive.
  3. Insert the USB flash drive into your XO and reboot.
  4. Hold the X game key while booting if your machine is not a secure XO (its firmware is unlocked).

Notes

  • The USB flash drive should be formatted with a VFAT file system (FAT16 with long filename support); this is the common format for most USB sticks with capacity up to 2 GB.
  • You can perform steps 1 and 2 on another computer, or if you are familiar with the Linux command line, on the XO in a terminal using wget and unzip.
