Mojave Installer Size

[anpaman]

I would like to clean install Mojave from High Seirra.

When I go to Mojave from apple website it open app store and the size is 14.7 MB.

Is it correct size ?

Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support (SG)

You can use a USB flash drive or other secondary volume as a startup disk from which to install the Mac operating system. These steps are primarily for system administrators and other experienced users.

No, you probably got an (old) Mojave installer somewhere on a connected drive.
After succesfully deleting the old installer, Mojave installer download should show up as ~ 6GB (=the complete file).

could be, for me the install would not fit on a 8gb thumb drive in 2019
i could check on an external drive were i keep the OS.
but i don't think the exact size matters compared to getting the full download.
