||||

|
||||
2. Right click on the ISO image.
|
||||
3. Click on “Burn Disk Image ‘Solus-2017.04.18.0-Budgie.iso’ to Disc…”

|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Etcher.
|
||||
2. Click on “Select image” and then select the ISO and click “Open”.
|
||||
3. Etcher will automatically select your USB drive. If it has selected the wrong one, click “Change” and select the correct one.
|
||||
4. Click “Flash!”.
|
||||
5. You may be prompted for your macOS user password.

||||
|
||||
{{< altimg "mac-etcher.jpg" "help-center/installation/preparing-to-install/" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
6. Once Etcher has finished it is safe to remove the USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
You may see a message stating “The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.” once Etcher finishes, this can be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Command Line
|
||||
|
||||
1. First, insert the USB drive into your computer and open Terminal (found in Applications/Utilities).
|
||||
2. You need to identify your USB drive by listing your storage devices with the following command -
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
diskutil list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should see output similar to this -
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
|
||||
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
|
||||
0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0
|
||||
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
|
||||
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 999.3 GB disk0s2
|
||||
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
|
||||
|
||||
/dev/disk1 (external, physical):
|
||||
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
|
||||
0: GUID_partition_scheme *15.6 GB disk1
|
||||
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
|
||||
2: Apple_HFS Ultra 15.3 GB disk1s2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
From this output, we can see the USB drive is listed as - `/dev/disk1 (external, physical)`. In this example, the IDENTIFIER is `disk1`. Please note, your USB drive may have a different identifier. You should be able to tell which is your USB drive by checking the name and size.
|
||||
|
||||
3. macOS usually auto-mounts USB drives so you’ll need to unmount it first before proceeding. Use the following command and replace `IDENTIFIER` with the correct identifier we found in step 2.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/IDENTIFIER
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Now navigate to the folder that has the downloaded ISO. This could be your Mac’s Downloads folder. The following command will get you there -
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
cd ~/Downloads
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **This step is dangerous. Using the wrong drive identifier could result in data loss.** We will use the `dd` command to write the contents of the ISO to the thumb drive. Replace `IDENTIFIER` in the command below with your drive identifier from step 2. Note the extra `r` before the identifier (i.e `rdisk1`). This is for raw mode, which along with bs=1m, makes the transfer faster.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
sudo dd if=Solus-2017.04.18.0-Budgie.iso of=/dev/rIDENTIFIER bs=1m
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. Be patient! After a few minutes you’ll receive a message saying how much data was transferred. You can now safely eject the usb drive.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
diskutil eject /dev/IDENTIFIER
|
||||
```

||||
