Make the bootable mojave usb installer!

[tywebb13]

In mojave beta 11 the full installer has actually dropped the name "beta".

So the command to make the bootable usb installer has changed too. You can use this for any subsequent golden master as well as the public release.

Once you have the full installer in the Applications folder, format an 8GB USB as HFS+ Journaled, call it Untitled and run this command in Terminal:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled

That will make the bootable usb installer for Mojave Beta 11, any subsequent golden master and public releases.

The question is how do you get the full installer of Beta 11? Coming from beta 10, you only get the update in the software update app in system preferences. It does not pop up the App Store with full installer any longer.

Thanks tywebb13, but not keen on grabbing the installer from a third party site. If that is only option and no way to get it directly from Apple, I'll wait until the 24th when official is released and get it then.

I agree that it is not advisable to get mojave from a third party site.

But installinstallmacos.py is actually a python script which you can use to download the full installers via terminal instead of the mac app store or the software update preference pane.

It is not a "third party site".

In fact it downloads them directly from apple's servers. I would not be so enthusiastic about it if that were not the case.
