!!! Note
If you don't have `wget` installed, you can use `curl --progress-bar -OL <url>` instead.
### Step 2.5 Flash the Installer to the USB Drive
!!! Danger "Specifying the wrong device can lead to unrecoverable data loss."
The `dd` utility will erase the disk. Make sure to specify the correct device (`of=...`)
For example if the USB device is `sdb` use `of=/dev/sdb`.
For example if the USB device is `sdb` use `of=/dev/sdb` (on macOS it will look more like /dev/disk1)
On Linux, you can use the `lsblk` utility to identify the correct disko
```
lsblk --output NAME,ID-LINK,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT
```
Use the `dd` utility to write the NixOS installer image to your USB drive:
On macos use `diskutil`:
```
diskutil list
```
Use the `dd` utility to write the NixOS installer image to your USB drive.
Replace `/dev/sd<X>` with your external drive from above.
```shellSession
sudo dd bs=4M conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress if=./nixos-installer-x86_64-linux.iso of=/dev/sd<X>
sudo dd bs=4M conv=fsync status=progress if=./nixos-installer-x86_64-linux.iso of=/dev/sd<X>
