##### Installing the needed tools

```console
$ brew cask install osxfuse
$ brew install ext4fuse
```

##### Mount the disk on your filesystem

```console
$ ext4fuse /dev/disk2s2 pi-star
```

##### Users, groups, write permissions, &c

If you feel that you have to add yourself to another usergroup, then do that
as the following code suggests:

```console
$ sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a $username -t user $groupname
```
