First make a bootable Debian usb:

download an ISO from Debian.
format the USB if not already formatted I used ExFat to be crossplatform friendly. With a GUID partition scheme.
df -h to identify device idenifier in /dev
- /dev/disk4s2 15Gi 2.9Mi 15Gi 1% 94 481794 0% /Volumes/Debian
unmount the disc diskutil unmount {identifier} eg /dev/disk4s2
system_profiler SPUSBDataType is also interesting
- however this was not working for me
- The output of the above command I will post below this list with commentary
dd if=debian-live-13.4.0-amd64-xfce.iso of=/dev/disk4s2 bs=4M; sync where if is the input file and of is the output file pointer. bs is the block size.
- time for a meal break (at least at 4M block sizes).
