With your ISO ready, and the USB you plan to flash ready, here's the steps to achieve victory.
-
Your USB needs to be a bit bigger than the ISO, but the margin may vary. Remember that your USB will be erased during this process.
-
Open a Terminal Window
-
Run
diskutil list
and find your USB (/dev/diskN
) -
Run
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN
. It should printUnmount of all volumes on diskN was successful
-
Run
sudo dd if=<iso path> of=/dev/diskN bs=1m
. Remember that both should be [absolute]. Your recommended block size may vary. This command also doesn't output anything mid-operation, but you can check on it's progress byCTRL+T
-
Run
diskutil eject /dev/diskN
If you need to, to convert an .iso to .img, run
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o <img path> <iso path>
