No, but you will need to adjust the dd command to account for wherever the downloaded file is; probably in ~/Downloads
perfect! I knew there had to be something user self inflicted.
I hope it wasnt the dumbest question asked, Cheers and enjoy your weekend
lol , very funny!
does the libreelec img file need to be in a specific location?
The file you downloaded was in .img.gz format. If Safari (or other browser) does not automatically unzip the file to be in .img format it will still be in .img.gz format and thus when you run a dd command against the .img (not .img.gz) filename the file (correctly) does not exist."gunzip LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.0.0.img.gz"
NB: Make sure you download and use v7.0.2 as it corrects some occasional errors in the installer.
thanks for the reply chewitt, im pretty sure that safari had unzipped it already, as i tried to use izip unarchiver but it said it wasnt an archive and the .gz wasnt the extension.
yes ive tried again with v7.0.2 and changing the commands from the wiki from 7.0.0 to 7.0.2.
any other ideas?
anybody?? there must be something simple that im not doing, does the img file need to be placed in a specific folder?
Hello, I just joined as I have decided to give Libreelec a go after my openelec got corrupted after trying to set up vdr.
im having an issue making my instal usb stick. I want to install on the internal ssd drive of my i5 Nuc.
I downloaded and extracted to 7.0.0 file and following the wiki for osx, this is where I get to in terminal dd: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.0.0.img: No such file or directory. I am not super computer literite but can usually follow instructions ok. is the full terminal thing. can you see where ive gone wrong?
cheers
