Unless you have a speedy Internet connection, one may want to make a bootable USB installer disk to install MacOS Mojave on more than one computer. This can also serve as a way to quickly get a computer back up and running incase a computer is being blocked from the Internet.
So, what is required for making a bootable USB drive?
- 1 USB Drive (16GB or larger) – You can get these from Amazon.com.
- You’ll need to download the MacOS Mojave installation app and put it in the /Applications/ folder (Direct Link)
- Conform that the ‘Install macOS Mojave.app’ is in the /Applications/ folder.
- Connect the USB Drive to the Mac. You may need to format (prep) the drive to save files onto it.
- Launch the Terminal App located in /Applications/Utilities folder.
- At the Terminal window, type the below command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/UNTITLED --nointeraction && say Mojave Drive Created
- Press [Return] and enter the Administrator’s password (as required by sudo).
The making of the disk can take a while, depending on the speed of your Mac.
That’s it.
