    Creating a bootable macOS USB installer


First, plug in an 8GB (or bigger) USB drive, and use Disk Utility to erase it
If you use the default settings, you should wind up with a blank drive at /Volumes/Untitled.

With that volume in place, and with the macOS installer sitting in /Applications/Install\ macOS\ [VERSION].app,
run the following command in your terminal to create a bootable install media (for Sierra):
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction
