+
+##### 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

+   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
+```
+
