Basic steps
Download Manjaro Distribution
Format USB Drive
To find the volume identifier of our USB stick, we run
diskutil list $ # ... /dev/disk4 (external, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: *31.7 GB disk4
Erase disk (e.g.
volume_identifier=disk4
)diskutil secureErase 1 ${volume_identifier} $ Started erase on disk4 Finished erase on disk4
Convert ISO to IMG
hdiutil convert ${input_path} -format UDRW -o ${output_path} $
Note:
input_path
andoutput_path
are the locations of the downloaded Manjaro ISO file respectively the output path for the image (latter without file suffix).Example:
input_path=~/Downloads/manjaro-xfce-18.1.5-191229-linux54.iso $ output_path=~/Desktop/manjaro-xfce-18.1.5-191229-linux54 $ hdiutil convert ${input_path} -format UDRW -o ${output_path} $ # ... created: /Users/main/Desktop/manjaro-xfce-18.1.5-191229-linux54.dmg
Burn to USB Drive
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/${volume_identifier} $ Unmount of all volumes on disk4 was successful
Then
sudo dd if=${output_path}.dmg of=/dev/${volume_identifier} bs=1m
Restart Mac and hold alt key after startup chime to select boot drive. Choose the USB Drive.
Enjoy Manjaro!
