Hi Courtney,

If you mean downloading the Debian install media - that's one thing.

If you mean installing Debian so as to dual boot natively into Debian/MacOS - 
that's something different and a fair bit harder. It will also only
work on a Mac which has Intel chips inside - not the later ARM M1 Macs.

If you mean installing Debian into a virtual machine under MacOS: that's 
another thing again. You might well need a commercial program - 
Parallels / VMWare Fusion or whatever.

With every good wish, as ever,

Andy Cater
