Creating a bootable USB
- Download a full macOS installer from the App Store.
- Connect a 32GB or larger USB drive.
- Run the following command from a terminal (replacing
/Volumes/Untitled
with the path to your USB drive):
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sonoma.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --nointeraction
Booting from the USB
If you’re on Apple silicon, do the following:
- Turn off the device.
- Connect the USB drive.
- Press and hold the power button until you see the startup options screen.
If you’re on Intel silicon, do this instead::
- Turn off or restart the device.
- Connect the USB drive.
- Press and hold ⌥ Option or Alt until you see the startup manager.
