It is easier to use terminal to write it to the SD card
First unmount the SD card:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
(the SD card I used was described as disk 2 - can check using line: diskutil list it will be the one referred to as an external disk)
Next find the file path for the img file and make a note of it
Run code
_sudo dd bs=1m if=file_path_to_gohere.img of=/dev/disk2; sync
If on a linux machine will need to change bs=1M, if using a mac use 1m
Hope this helps!
Sorry forgot to add:
To eject SD card run:
sudo diskutil eject /dev/rdiskN
It is easier to use terminal to write it to the SD card
"Easier" for one person is "more difficult" for another person - the trickiness with using dd
was exactly why Etcher was developed in the first place :wink:
@Robertpuggle could you be a bit more specific about the version number and the error message you saw + at what point of the process you saw it?
