@Zacc806 Thanks for the correction on the name.. But (sorry) I do not get if that was a remark to just correct me on quoting something or if it solves my issue in some way ?
I am able to download the OS but it is unclear to me how to create the USB.. I am quite ok with using Linux and console commands..
The instructions say:
1. Insert the USB drive
2. Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
3. Highlight the USB drive in left column
4. Click on the Partition tab
5. Click Current and choose 1 Partition
6. Click Options...
7. Choose GUID Partition Table
8. Under Name: type USB (You can rename it later)
9. Under Format: choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
10. Click Apply then Partition
11. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
12. Type the following, enter password and hit enter. This command completely erases the USB, then creates native installer media from the Install macOS Beta Application.
Steps 1 to 11 are fine. Then I get into step 12, the instructions on the site say to execute the following command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sonoma.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sonoma.app --nointeraction
When I go in console I would expect an executable called "Install" to exist in the "/Applications" folder.. There is no such executable.. Where should it come from ?
I am guessing that that statement creates the USB, that means it also should have some way to point to the image I just downloaded.. However it is not clear to me where I should place that downloaded image? I think that basically is my issue, where should I place that downloaded mac os image ?
CORRECTION: I am getting where it goes wrong and it is not here... Its the gibmacos part where my running GibMacOS.command does not complete correctly which whould create what I am missing... The script errors out with a syntax error in line 376 .. Now trying using the Beta enrollment...
