When I get to the step of converting the .iso to an .img it continues to respond as such: " -bash: /Users/RidgeJohnston/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso: Permission denied "
How can I get passed this denied action and complete the processes?
Try the following command
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/Downloads/ubuntu.img ~/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
Use sudo before the command if required.
This will convert the iso file to an img file and save it as 'ubuntu.img' in your Downloads folder.
Run diskutil list and determine the device node assigned to the USB Drive eg- /dev/disk2
Now unmount this disk diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN where N should be replaced with the node number determined above eg- 2.
Now, write the image to the USB drive using the command
sudo dd if=~/Downloads/ubuntu.img.dmg of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
where N should be replaced with the node number.
