Download Install Disk Creator by clicking on the link above. When the download is done, you can move it over to your Applications folder. Then follow these steps to create your bootable macOS High Sierra drive. Connect your drive to your Mac. It’s OK if it’s not formatted as a Mac drive. The app will reformat it.

Further Reading It was 2009. Things have proceeded remarkably smoothly since version 10.7 switched to download-only installers, but there are still good reasons to want a reliable old USB stick. For instance, if you find yourself doing multiple installs, a USB drive may be faster than multiple downloads (especially if you use a USB 3.0 drive). Or, maybe you need a recovery disk for older Macs that don't support the Internet Recovery feature. Whatever the reason, you're in luck, because it's not hard to make one., there are two ways to get it done. There's the super easy way with the graphical user interface and the only slightly less easy way that requires some light Terminal use. Here's what you need to get started.

• A Mac that you have administrator access to, duh. Snes emulator mac snow leopard. We've created Sierra USB stick from both El Capitan and Sierra, but your experience with other versions may vary. • An 8GB or larger USB flash drive or an 8GB or larger partition on some other kind of external drive.

For newer Macs, use a USB 3.0 drive—it makes things significantly faster. • The macOS 10.12 Sierra installer from the Mac App Store in your Applications folder. The installer will delete itself when you install the operating system, but it can be re-downloaded if necessary.

• If you want a GUI, we're recommending a different app than last year—take a look at. There are other apps out there that do this, but this one is quick and simple. If you want to use this USB installer with newer Macs as they are released, you'll want to periodically re-download new Sierra installers and make new install drives periodically. Apple rolls support for newer hardware into new macOS point releases as they come out, so this will help keep your install drive as universal and versatile as possible.

The easy way. Once you've obtained all of the necessary materials, connect the USB drive to your Mac and launch the Install Disk Creator.

This app is basically just a GUI wrapper for the terminal command, so it should be possible to make install disks for versions of OS X/macOS going all the way back to Lion. In any case, it will work just fine for our purposes. Install Disk Creator will automatically detect macOS installers on your drive and suggest one for you, listing its icon along with its path. You can navigate to a different one if you want, and you can also pick from among all the storage devices and volumes currently connected to your Mac through the drop-down menu at the top of the window. Once you're ready to go, click 'Create Installer' and wait. A progress bar across the bottom of the app will tell you how far you have to go, and a pop-up notification will let you know when the process is done.
