Bootable Usb High Sierra Install Volume Of

A bootable install volume of macOS 10.13 allows users to perform a variety of tasks including formatting and clean installs, updating multiple Macs from the same USB flash drive installer (and without re downloading), and to use as a troubleshooting boot drive should the need arise, amongst other benefits for advanced and more technical users.

Making a USB install drive requires the usage of precise syntax at the command line with superuser privileges, using the wrong syntax could lead to unintended data loss.

If the file size of the High Sierra installer is not over 5GB then you have the incomplete installer and will need to download the complete macOS High Sierra installer application as described here in order to create a bootable installer drive.

Immediately on reboot, start holding down the OPTION (ALT) key to load the boot menu.

I run everything as described, and after the full install, it just launches back to macOS utilities.

Has anyone had this before, or know a way around it Cheers Adam.

And typing in the createinstallmedia command is like having a root canal This short shell script is easier.

I dragged the USB drive into terminal window and found out it was actual showing up in terminal as UNTITLED 1 so i needed to add a backslash and a space and 1 for it to work.

I downloaded this version from the macos patcher app website.

The drive gets formatted upon running the command to create the High Sierra installer.

A problem I could not think of was that my Sierra file was not in the applications folder after the download and this made all the process to not work.

Just moved it into the applications folder and the process worked like a charm.
