Create Install Media

Sunday, August 17, 2003 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Create Install Media

When making a hackintosh, one of the things that you need to learn to do is how to create install media for macOS. If not, you will have to rely on someone else to make one for you with the bootloader baked in. Below are the invocations that you will need.

Note: “–applicationpath” will be deprecated in macOS 10.14 and greater.

Mojave
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/GixxerUSB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app

High Sierra:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/GixxerUSB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app

Sierra:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/GixxerUSB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app

El Capitan:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/GixxerUSB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app

Yosemite:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/GixxerUSB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app

Mavericks:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/GixxerUSB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app
