AFP for Macintosh

Samba also works with Macintosh, but Apple has its own networking protocol called
Apple Filling Protocol (AFP). There is a software that you can install on the Pi so that
your Macintosh computers can detect the Raspberry Pi. Place it in the shared section
of the sidebar.

Installing and configuring
Installing Netatalk has become really easy as most of the configuration is set up by
default. At the time of writing this book, the version used is 2.3.3.
sudo apt-get install netatalk
Within 30 to 60 seconds, you should not see your Raspberry pop up in the shared
section on your Macintosh. The default directory that is shared is the home directory
of the user that you log in as, for example, user Pi.
