Mac Linux USB Loader

Tool allowing you to put a Linux distribution on a USB drive and make it bootable on Intel Macs using EFI.

General Information

This is the Mac Linux USB Loader, a tool allowing you to take an ISO of a Linux distribution and make it boot using EFI. It requires a single USB drive formatted as FAT with at least 2 GB free recommended. Mac Linux USB Loader is available under the 3-clause BSD license.

Feb 17, 2017 I've had this same problem here's my fix without having to use TERMINAL. I'm a PC guy and bought a MAC for school and downloaded some WINDOWS.exe. Files on my MAC and couldn't copy to my USB drive because Apple removed the file system for copy. HERE'S WHAT YOU DO!!! Upload the.iso to Dropbox then download it to the USB drive destination.

Mac Linux USB Loader allows you to put a Linux distro on a USB drive and make it bootable on Intel Macs using EFI. You may want to check out more software for Mac, such as Linux USB Creator, Kohler USB Utility or M3 BitLocker Loader, which might be related to Mac Linux USB Loader.

Mac Linux USB Loader is an application that allows you to create bootable USB drives containing a Linux distribution that can boot natively on Apple's Macintosh computers using their EFI system, regardless of whether or not the selected distribution has UEFI support. Nov 23, 2016 So, you’ve got a mac computer and you want to put the ISO you just downloaded onto it. If you’ve used tools like UNetBootin before, then you’ll have found it a nice easy graphical way on a PC. Unfortunately, Mac users have to go through a few more hurdles to get an ISO image onto a USB stick in order to make it boot properly.

Linux USB Creator for Mac has finally been released! This is the easiest way to create a live Linux USB on OS X. OSX Lion (10.7) and later: Download OSX Snow Leopard (10.6) users: Download Instructions / Screenshots First, just select the Linux distribution you want to.

The tool is necessary to make certain Linux distributions boot that do not have EFI booting support. Many distributions are adding this with the release of Windows 8, but it has not been finalized and is still nonstandard by most distributions. Many common distributions are supported, like Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

If you wish to contribute to the code or fork the repository, please do so. All development currently takes place on the master branch, and this is where code should be submitted for pull requests. The legacy branch contains the code for pre-3.0 versions of Mac Linux USB Loader; it will not be maintained and is present for historical interest only.

I created this tool, if you care, for several reasons:

None of the other tools available (esp. unetbootin) feel native and operate as you would expect on the Mac platform.
None of the other methods of which I am aware have the ability to make the archives boot on Intel Macs.
It was personally a pain in the neck getting Linux distributions to boot via USB on Macs.

That being said, it does have a few shortcomings:

Linux fails to have graphics on some Macs (i.e Macbook Pros with nVidia graphics), which in some cases prevents boot, but this is not necessarily an issue with Mac Linux USB Loader as much as it is an issue with the video drivers that ship with most distributions. Luckily, with Enterprise, which has been included with Mac Linux USB Loader since 2.0, you can use persistence to install the necessary video drivers on distributions like Ubuntu, helping to alleviate the issue.

Building from Source

Requirements: Xcode 9, OS X 10.12 SDK. OS X 10.8+ required to run built app

Clone from git:git clone https://github.com/SevenBits/Mac-Linux-USB-Loader.git
Run pod install (requires Cocoapods).
Open Mac Linux USB Loader.xcworkspace and do an archive build, or simply run and debug it with Xcode

Mac Linux USB Loader utilizes the OS X app sandbox, and so it requires that it be code-signed to use all features. This should not be a problem if you are a registered Apple developer.
