This is one of those "I have to do this occasionally and can never remember how" things - mounting an ISO in macOS, especially Linux ISOs.
macOS has a few things that are stupid. Trying to mount a .iso file directly using normal means ends in failure:
hdiutil: mount failed - no mountable file systems
It's completely doable, unlike other image formats (.img
, .dmg
, etc), just takes a bit more effort.
