# Mounting HFSPlus on Linux
1. To mount an HFSPlus volume on Linux (e.g. Raspbian), you need several packages that are not installed by default. Run the following to install them. `sudo apt install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs gdisk`
2. You can find out the ID of the volume you want to mount by calling `sudo fdisk -l` (or using `lsusb`)
3. `sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdb1 /media/hfsplus`. Specifying the `force,rw` options is required or the file system will be mounted as read-only.
4. You can verify that the volume was correctly mounted with `mount` (without arguments).
You can configure the volume to be auto-mounted. See [[Auto-Mounting Drives on Linux]].
