I always seem to forget how to download the macOS version I need by the time I need it again, so here is a quick and nasty guide on how to download a properly signed *.dmg file to build a USB installer.

• The script below is just copy pasted from here: https://github.com/grahampugh/macadmin-scripts (This is a jacked up version of the original found here: https://github.com/munki/macadmin-scripts)
• Here is some nice documentation to use the script: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2018/02/27/using-installinstallmacos-py-to-download-macos-high-sierra-installers/

If you don't want to download the tool or monkey around with permissions, give this a shot: (Provided you are dumb enough to pipe unknown code off the internet in sudo python of course):

• sudo curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grahampugh/macadmin-scripts/master/installinstallmacos.py | sudo python - --help

If you're downloading an installer for your current machine, do the following:

Information for macOS Setup and Developer Experience

Last updated, 2024-05-03, applies to macOS 14.x.x (Sonoma) on Intel silicon hardware.

The default Terminal and Shell (zsh) is replaced with iTerm2 and Bash v5.

This document is meant to serve as an aid and reference in preparing a macOS system on Intel silicon hardware, the process is reviewed and completed manually. Apple M silicon hardware has not been tested.

Note: Review associated documentation at each software and service site prior to implementation to avoid unintended side effects. Prior to running brew install commands, run brew info to confirm what and how Homebrew will manage an installation. Some of the information may also apply to Apple silicon hardware but has not yet been verified.
