Create Install Media

Create Install Media is a handy little app that helps you make bootable installation drives for different OS X and macOS versions, including the popular macOS Mojave. If you've ever wanted to install a new operating system on your Mac, this tool is definitely worth checking out!

How Does It Work?

So here's the deal: Create Install Media can help you set up a bootable drive for installing the OS, but you'll still need to use Disk Utility to format the target drive first. Don't worry; it's pretty simple!

Steps to Use Create Install Media

Once you open up the utility, it guides you through everything. First, it sends you over to Disk Utility so you can format your target drive. Then, you'll need to choose which installer app you want to use and select the volume where you'll install it.

Downloading Your OS Installer

Before starting, make sure you've downloaded the OS installer from the Mac App Store. During the setup process, Create Install Media will ask for its path so it knows where to find it.

A Test of Patience

Now comes the waiting part! Just kick back and relax while Create Install Media does all the hard work for you. It may take some time, so just be patient until you see that confirmation message saying everything's done.

A User-Friendly Tool

This app really makes creating a bootable USB drive super easy—especially for those who aren't tech-savvy yet. It's pretty intuitive! But if you do hit any snags along the way, feel free to check out the instructions on their project's GitHub page.

Your Main Tasks

The Create Install Media utility takes care of most things by itself! Just remember: handle Disk Utility for formatting and download your desired installer from the Mac App Store first.
