How do I use apfs-fuse to mount a Mac hard drive using an Ubuntu live session?

I want to access my files on my Mac (APFS) using Ubuntu live USB.

I used Cubic (to install apfs-fuse) to make the live USB.

I followed this guide (this is the last page), but nothing happened. I couldn't mount the Mac partition.

The guide was meant for an installed system, but I thought I would try my luck with live USB anyway.

I got this "options" menu after entering the last command in the guide :

sudo apfs-fuse -o allow_other /dev/sda2 /media/$USERNAME/macos

I don't know what to do since I am new to using Linux.

I would appreciate it if someone could make a guide for my particular purpose (live USB)..
