xcode-select --install This tool requires ntfs-3g and macFUSE be installed. You can install them with brew:
brew tap gromgit/homebrew-fuse
brew install --cask macfuse
brew install ntfs-3g-macOr alternatively install them manually.
For macFUSE: macFUSE
For ntfs-3g: ntfs-3g
Download the latest release from the Releases Page, then copy the executable file to usr/local/bin with this command:
sudo cp /path/to/executable/downloaded /usr/local/binThen you would be able to run the command ntfsmounter to start mounting all NTFS Volumes found connected to your Mac in your preferred terminal from any directories.
ntfsmounterSince mounting volumes with ntfs-3g requires admin privileges, you have to provide the tool with your machine's admin password for this tool to work.
You have the option to enter your password mannually everytime you use this tool, or you may also enter you password once on fisrt run, and your password will be safely stored in your system's keychain, accessible only by admins and this tool itself.
If you would like to change your preferred way of providing the password, or if you have changed your admin password and would like to update the password stored in keychain, you may run the tool with the argument --config .
