So I decided to post this for Mac users, as most the guides seem to favor PC users.
Thought I cannot take credit for the guide, I only took an existing guide and simplified it. The guide I had taken this from had a lot of useless steps and unnecessary explanations that only made the process more confusing.
Follow this guide EXACTLY without skipping steps.

Of course this is one of those Use At Your Own Risk Situations. I'm not responsible for anything that may go wrong due to human error or malfunction. This is a simple guide, you're the one pulling the trigger.
Once again, This is a guide that I simplified. I take no credit.
