The steps are classic :

Dowloading image from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ and download the "Raspbian Stretch Lite" version. We will not use X servers and other desktops tools. Just console.

tar -xvf /my/raspbian/iso.zip

Install it on SDcard from your desktop pc https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/

dd bs=1m if=/iso/place/on/my/computer of=/dev/mysdcard conv=sync

activate ssh, to create the ssh file in boot to activate it

$ touch /Volumes/boot/ssh

activate ssh by usb,

edit config.txt @ the root of the sd card and add "dtoverlay=dwc2" or directly

echo "dtoverlay=dwc2" >> /path/to/my/sd/card/config.txt
echo "modules-load=dwc2,g_ether" >> /path/to/my/sd/card/cmdline.txt

eject sdcard :

$ sudo diskutil eject /dev/mmcbbtruc0
Password:
