- Start the Terminal app;
- enter
sudo diskutil list
 to determine the mount point of your USB drive (for example disk3); - enter
sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 USB /dev/disk3

sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3
; - enter
cd Downloads
; - enterÂ
sudo dd if=./debian-9.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/disk3 bs=1m
