Mojave GM Link

[ssn637]

I use this utility to download my installers:

https://github.com/munki/macadmin-scripts/blob/master/installinstallmacos.py

You can download all the current installers (including any current beta). it will create a DMG file. Just open the DMG and copy the installer from the Applications folder. You can then create a USB installer by using the createinstallmedia command.

I've tried to copy and paste the installinstallmacos.py content in TextEdit and save as a .py file, but even after opening the file in EditRocket and verifying it via debug, whenever I try to launch the python executable I get a syntax error. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or upload the installinstallmacos.py file? If I right-click the file on the GitHub page and "save as" the downloaded file has an .html extension...

Cheers

this is my GM release, it said it was a beta update but after installing it, i no longer have a build number, so my understanding is I am running GM/RTM code not some Beta junk anymore

WOW! NKW I FEEL even dumber! i should just retire from doing IT work, seems as the years go by i get dummer and dummer and im only 33 lol

I have been in the "this is a beta, not a GM" camp. But I am not sure now. I went ahead and did a complete clean install using b11 and I am no longer seeing the signs of beta I was before (prominent Feedback Assistant and beta note in software updates.) Since we did not see a announced GM release yesterday (as I was expecting), it is possible that Apple will just make this build the release version. I just would prefer Apple call it a GM before I install it on any production devices.

Can you please tell me if you did a clean install using a bootable installer or updated from High Sierra ?
Because I want to use APFS.

Thanks in advance

I think the ultimate test to see if beta 11 is really a gm is its ability to update to point releases.

In previous versions you could not update a pre-release beta directly to a point release - unless you use a full installer.

You could however update a gm to a point release - even if the build number of the gm was lower than that of the public release.

So we won't really know until the first beta of 10.14.1 is released - and only if you DON'T update the beta 11 to any other update before then. And in this case I would NOT use a full installer.

 

[scott_donald]

I did a clean install of Beta 9 by mistake last night, meant to do 11.

I am only going to start again with 11 if it definitely is the GM.

patiently waiting..............

Ha. So what is the build number you see?

 

[Netsurfer]

well... at this point... as other people are saying over the internet... this should mean it's not beta

P.S. I'm given two different options of Mojave 10.14 to download:

I selected Option 5 and will give that a try.

Download the raw python application given in Post #52 (Right-click the installinstallmacos.py link and select "Download linked file")
Copy the file to your Desktop
Run the following command in Terminal:
cd /Users/user/Desktop
sudo python installinstallmacos.py
You will then be given options of which installer you'd like to download

That’s what I been saying there is no mention of Beta any where inside the OS at all, this is the final copy that everyone will get. They did this with previous OS also I remember having the exact same issues and guessing all the time!

Got it, I will try a fresh install after finish the download

I did a clean install of high Sierra and split my drive into two HD 128GB boot and 2 TB data I converted to APFFzs then upgraded from Beta 1 to latest beta/GM with not a single issue
[doublepost=1537449819][/doublepost]18A389 is my build number and just says 10.24 Mojave with. It a single beta word to be found any where in the OS after I upgraded to it. Apple did the with High Sierra for sure cause I remember downloading a beta build..... it said update to beta via Apple store update after reboot I got a GM code and I was waiting and waiting for final release until it came out and I had the same build number also. Same exact confusion as a year ago, so trust me ride out with 389build. By now we should have had the latest download if there was one you know

Appreciate the knowledge above from everyone so far.

following on, I now have in my desktop two new items -

Folder called content.
DMG file called Install_macOS_10.14-18A389.dmg

how do I turn that into an installer? instal disk creator does not like it.

if I double click on the dmg everything is like normal but I want to do a fresh instal using an USB stick.

EDIT - seems to be working after I booted the DMG file then dragged the Mojave icon to the installer.

Mount the DMG (double-click). Inside will be a folder called Applications. Open the folder and you will see the installer. I recommend that you drag the installer to your Applications folder on your hard drive.

To create a bootable USB key, do the following:

insert the USB key and note the name of the drive

open Terminal and run the following command (this assumes you copied the installer to the Application folder):

sudo "/Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/<nameofUSBKey>

You will prompted to enter your password and then prompted to confirm that you want to erase the USB key.

ahah you're both right XD

I just would prefer Apple call it a GM before I install it on any production devices.

Or you can just wait for the general release in the App Store this Monday instead of taking the gamble with beta 11.

I remember a similar thing happening during the Mac OS X Tiger developer previews. A lot of people assumed build 8A425 was going to be the GM and started doing clean installs with it. Then 8A428 came as the actual GM release. Whoops.

Nothing to add, but just wanted to say - ah that takes me back. I was that "people".

And then the RTM build came out... But Tiger was so worth the pain.

 

[richard69]

Im on the fence. Just finished the bootable USB install media. Now I don't know if I should do a fresh install and take the risk of Monday be a new build.
