Install

  1. Download Albis-Installer-2.3.16.pkg and open it.
  2. macOS stops the first launch, because the installer is not signed with an Apple Developer ID. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.
  3. Follow the Albis installer. It checks that your Mac is supported and has enough free space, then installs Debian alongside macOS.

Changed your mind later? Open Albis and select Installation → Remove Debian from the menu bar to give the space back to macOS.
