The above command will prompt a pop-up window where you can install Xcode.

Next, we need to install Homebrew, a Mac package manager. This will help us install the necessary dependencies for the rest of the installation process. To install Homebrew, enter the following command in the Terminal:

We also need to install libusb and pkgconfig, which are required dependencies for the 'usbboot' code base, which will be downloaded and compiled in the next step. To install these dependencies, enter the following homebrew command in the Terminal:

Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies, we can download the 'usbboot' code base from Github. To download the 'usbboot' code base, enter the following command in the Terminal:

This command will clone the code base to your local machine folder where the command is executed

To compile the 'usbboot' code base, navigate to the directory where the code base was downloaded and enter the following command in the Terminal:

Finally, we need to install either Balena Etcher or Raspberry Pi Imager to flash the SD card.

Now your Mac is ready to flash the SD card Or a Raspberry pi
