    Or, for writable partition you need to run the command below
    ```sh
    sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sda2 /media/hfsplus

    The first thing to do before we access HFS+ drive, ensure our board is running lastest software.
    ```sh
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade
    ```

    Install all HFS packages we need.
    ```sh
    sudo apt-get install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs gdisk
    ```

    Decide your device's mounting path for instance we will use `/media/hfsplus`.
    ```sh
    sudo mkdir /media/hfsplus
    ```

    Check the drive with HFS+ filesystem.
    ```sh
    sudo fdisk -l
    ```

    For instance, the HFS+ drive located in `/dev/sda2`. We will mount this to `/media/hfsplus`.
    ```sh

    The following steps is optional if you encounter file permission and not able to access particular folders or files.
    We will need `bindfs`
    ```sh
    sudo apt install bindfs
    ```

    Now take mounted file system before and provide a view of it with any uid you'd like.
    ```sh
    mkdir ~/anyfolder
    sudo bindfs -u $(id -u) -g $(id -g) /media/hfsplus ~/anyfolder
    ```
