do it by terminal?

1st Official Post

    sorry if it is info already available, but I cannot find it.

    I'm forced to use a very old mac to install Libreelec, and your install app doesnt work for it.

    Is it still possible - like in the old days - to download the image and install it in the terminal by dd if=imagename of=rdiskdevice; sync ?

    thank you!

    dd is a Linux type command that can write file images to disks, so yes, with the right parameters, that should still work.

    No idea which exact parameters are required on an (old) Mac machine though.

    Thank you Klojum, I always used in the past from the Mac terminal, and it always worked to format Linux distributions, Kodi builds, Openelec ...

    Probably I'll have to set the bs parameter, and nothing else
