  27 +From a macOS machine, you can also run usbboot, just follow the same steps:
  28 +
  29 +1. Clone the `usbboot` repository
  30 +2. Install `libusb` (`brew install libusb`)
  31 +3. Build using make
  32 +4. Run the binary
  33 +
  34 +```
  35 +git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot
  36 +cd usbboot
  37 +brew install libusb
  38 +make
  39 +sudo ./rpiboot
  40 +```
  41 +
  42 +**Note:** You might see an OS warning message about a new disk that it can't access, click "ignore", this likely means that the storage is empty and has no filesystem. From here I recommend installing an OS using the [Raspberry Pi Imager App](https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/), or using any other means like `dd`.
