- Get ISO file
- Open Terminal /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
- Convert the .iso file to .img
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/source.iso
Note: OS X tends to put the .dmg ending on the output file automatically. - Insert USB stick
- Run diskutil list and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2)
- Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN
replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2 - Run sudo dd if=/path/to/target.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
replace /path/to/target.img with the path where the converted image file is located; for example, /Users/me/path/to/target.img
replace /de/rdiskN with your media number; for example: /dev/rdisk2- Using /dev/rdisk instead of /dev/disk may be faster
- If you see the error dd: Invalid number ’1m’, you are using GNU dd. Use the same command but replace bs=1m with bs=1M
- If you see the error dd: /dev/diskN: Resource busy, make sure the disk is not in use. Start the ‘Disk Utility.app’ and unmount (don’t eject) the drive
- Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your flash media when the command completes.
- Ready to deploy:)
