To install and work with .dmg files on Linux, you can follow these steps:

  1. 1. Install Required Tools: First, you need to install dmg2img and p7zip. These tools help in converting .dmg files to .img files and extracting their contents, respectively.

  • For dmg2img, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install dmg2img
  • For p7zip, use:
    • sudo apt-get install p7zip
    • 2. Convert .dmg to .img: Use dmg2img to convert the .dmg file to an .img file.
  1. dmg2img yourfile.dmg yourfile.img
  2. 3. Mount the .img File: After converting, mount the .img file.
  3. sudo mount -t hfsplus yourfile.img /mnt
  4. Alternatively, you can use the darling-dmg tool, which is a FUSE module for .dmg files containing an HFS+ filesystem. This tool allows you to directly mount .dmg files under Linux via FUSE without needing to manually extract and mount them.

To use darling-dmg, you need to install it and its dependencies, which include a C++11-capable compiler, CMake >3.10, and make. Once installed, you can mount .dmg files using:

darling-dmg yourfile.dmg /mnt

These methods should help you work with .dmg files on Linux effectively.
