Your question regarding Sierra is clearly answered in post #1. You should read it.
I read post #1 but I don’t understand. I have to make change in config.plist file or not ? I read post and i find it you updated it for 10.12 but I don’t underestamd about plist file.
Thanks for your help.

He provides a set of config.plist files which you need to use to replace your existing config.plist file as the default one won't work. You don't need to edit your existing file, simply replace it.

The Mac App Store downloads the installer app to /Applications, not /Desktop.
Read the guide carefully. Follow as written.

Thanks, but I did, my installation was on Desktop. For anyone having similar issue, I resolved this by escaping spaces like so `
/Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia` instead of using a string.

What do you mean "my installation was on Desktop"?
From where did you download macOS?
On what hardware did you create your USB installer?

The guide avoids escaping the spaces by using quotes. It is more clear that way...
The guide has the correct commands... ready for copy/paste.

Downloaded from Apple store, I moved it to the desktop. I've used a 16GB usb stick, I'm installing it as I write this :D
