Upgrading to macOS Mojave (Beta)

1. Pre-Requisites:

  • Free/Paid Apple Developer account

2. Steps:

Making Bootable USB for macOS Mojave

1. Pre-requisites

  • Installer for macOS Mojave. Can be downloaded from Apple portal after login into the Developer Portal (steps same as when upgrading).
  • USB stick/flash at lease 8GB

2. Steps

  • Format USB drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) FileSystem using Disk Utility

  • Open Terminal
  • Run the command:
  • sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ 10.14\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/UNTITLED --nointeraction

When asked for password, enter your admin user password

Note: -- nointeraction lets the terminal execute the command with (yes) to all the yes/no prompts.

End Result: Ready to start. To continue we need to erase the volume at /Volumes/UNTITLED. If you wish to continue type (Y) then press return: Y Erasing disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 30%... 100% Copying to disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 30%... 40%... 50%... 60%... 70%... 80%... 90%... 100% Making disk bootable...
