How to download a copy of Mojave public beta if Mojave is installed

[spynovel]

I have installed the macOS Mojave public beta and want to grab a copy of the newest beta version for a backup usb drive. I used the Mac App Store link from Apple's public beta page which opens the Mojave page in the new App Store. The download however only opens a small downloader program which directly installs the os rather than downloading the os image. Is there a way to force the App Store to download the full 4.9 GB file?

Yes, you can use --downloadassets.

I'm not getting this to work:
To use this tool, you must download the macOS installer application on a Mac with 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. For more information, please see the following: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201372.
[doublepost=1531197152][/doublepost]I might have an answer if you have the problem that I did above. I went back to the public beta page, and installed the Public Beta Access Utility which seems to be forcing a download (5.67 GB) in Software Update.
