# on any Unix-based system
sudo dd if=<.iso file location> of=<USB location> bs=1m
The USB location is generally in /dev
somewhere.
- On a Mac, run
diskutil list
, and note theIDENTIFIER
value for the disk that looks like your USB drive. It'll be something like/dev/disk2s1
. Optionally, you can prependdisk2s1
with anr
to make thedd
run faster. - On Ubuntu, open up the Disk Utility app (or run:
gnome-disks
). If you select the USB device, the main panel should tell you what the location is. It should look something like/dev/sdb1
.
