	[[<i>GNOME Disks</i> from Linux\|install/linux#install]]
	[[the Linux command line\|install/expert#install]]
	Shut down the computer.

	[[!img install/inc/screenshots/mac_option_key.png link="no" alt="'Option' or 'alt' key in the bottom left of Mac keyboard"]]
	Choose the USB stick and press <b>Enter</b>. The USB stick appears as an external hard disk and might be labeled <b>EFI Boot</b> or <b>Windows</b> like in the following screenshot:
	[[!img install/inc/screenshots/mac_startup_usb.png class="screenshot" alt="Screen with the logo of an internal hard disk labeled 'Macintosh HD' and an external hard disk labelled 'Windows' (selected)"]]
	If the USB stick does not appear in the list of startup disks:
	[[!inline pages="install/inc/steps/basic_troubleshooting.inline" raw="yes" sort="age"]]
	If your computer still does not display the Boot Loader, it might currently be impossible to start Tails on your computer.
	If your Mac displays the following error:
	Security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk.
	Then you have to change the settings of the <em>Startup Security Utility</em> of your Mac to authorize starting from Tails.
	To open <em>Startup Security Utility</em>:
	Turn on your Mac, then press and hold <strong>Command(⌘)+R</strong> immediately after you see the Apple logo. Your Mac starts up from <a href="https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201314">macOS Recovery</a>.
	When you see the macOS <em>Utilities</em> window, choose <strong>Utilities ▸ Startup Security Utility</strong> from the menu bar.
	When you are asked to authenticate, click <strong>Enter macOS Password</strong>, then choose an administrator account and enter its password.
