by Md Imran Hasan Hira

(This post is a concise version from How to Write to NTFS Drives on a Mac)

Steps:

1. Install OSXFuse from here

2. Hit these commands

xcode-select –install
brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g

3. Reboot your Mac and hold Command+R while it’s booting

4. Once you have, reboot your Mac normally.

sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original
sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs

5. Lastly, re-enable System Integrity Protection. Reboot your Mac and hold Command+R while it’s booting to enter recovery mode. Launch a terminal in recovery mode and run the following command
