The dd command needs to know which file you want to copy (see above), and the device corresponding to your USB stick.
So far so good, we’re in the right location. The second command lists all files, and your ISO image should be one of them. Let’s enter that directory by issuing the following command: cd ~/Downloads Now open Terminal – it’s under Applications – Utilities, or do a Spotlight search to find it.įor this example I’m assuming that the image file is called centos.iso and that it’s in your Downloads directory. Next, have a USB stick handy and insert it into your Mac. Our operation will result in a bootable USB stick.įirst, head over to a CentOS Mirror and download your favourite ISO image.
The following will work in both Mavericks and Yosemite, with ISOs from CentOS 6.5 and above. It needs a few parameters though, and in this article we’ll look at what those are.
Instead we can make use of a command line tool named dd which can do this for us. Mac users don’t have such a luxury – at least I haven’t found one yet. Windows users have a great free tool called ISO2USB which efficiently transfers ISO images to a USB stick.
