< The information on this page is based on what I did to boot TAILS from a particular piece of mac hardware. I am more or less technically incompetent, so I may incorrectly use a technical word here or there, and I won't present a solution to every problem you could run into. More importantly, there may be a much more efficient way to do all of this that I didn't figure out. I encourage anyone to edit this page to add any useful information or correct any misinformation I have provided, and I encourage anyone to leave comments.

< I installed and ran TAILS from a MacBook Pro 7,1 (13-inch, Mid 2010) with a Intel Core 2 Duo processor running OS X 10.11.3 (Yosemite). If you have exactly the same hardware and OS as me, then if you follow the steps I took everything should go fine. If you have the same hardware and a different OS you should probably update the OS anyway because it's probably better and safer, and if you have different hardware and the same OS (more likely) then you will probably run into the same problems I ran into, so this may be useful to you.

< If, like me, the last time you purchased a laptop occurred prior to the first class you took with Eben, there's a high chance it was an Apple computer. Installing TAILS on a USB from a Mac then booting it on the same computer is not trivial, and it's unlikely that the process described here will go smoothly, especially if you're running Yosemite. I don't know if burning TAILS onto a DVD is significantly easier than installing it on a USB drive via the command line, since I did not do it that way. However, the main difficulty I had was in step 4 of the process, where you restart on the TAILS disk, and there's no reason why the particular type of data storage device you installed TAILS on would affect the ability of your default boot manager to detect that it is a startup disk.

Line: 50 to 50
  After you have installed rEFInd, turn off your computer, then turn it back on again. This time, do not hold down the option key: rEFInd will run automatically. If you do press and hold down the option key, the default boot loader will appear on the screen, and you will have to restart your computer again.
