Exactly, Mac OS is not able to open it, as it does not really support other
file systems than the Apple ones. You need to flash the image to an USB stick,
you can use the dd command for that: dd if=/Path/to/image/file of=/dev/rdiskX
bs=1M status=progress or something. Replace /Path/to/image/file with the Path
of the image file (who could have guessed? :D) e.g. by dragging the file into
the terminal window. And replace X in the /dev/rdiskX path with the number of
your USB drive. You have to be careful about that one, because if you choose
the wrong one, it might overwrite your external hard disk or something.
Happened to me. So be sure to remove all other external media, and use the
command "diskutil list" to list all available drives. Then identify your USB
drive by it's size. Feel free to ask again if you have any further questions :)
