These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
Download macOS
Find the appropriate download link in the upgrade instructions for each macOS version:
![No gui boot not working No gui boot not working](/uploads/1/2/6/3/126391633/729799893.png)
macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, ormacOS High Sierra
Installers for each of these macOS versions download directly to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS Catalina, Install macOS Mojave, or Install macOS High Sierra. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. Important: To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.

OS X El Capitan
El Capitan downloads as a disk image. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal
- Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer. Make sure that it has at least 12GB of available storage and is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is still in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace
MyVolume
in these commands with the name of your volume.
Catalina:*
Mojave:*
High Sierra:*
El Capitan: - Press Return after typing the command.
- When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
- When prompted, type
Y
to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the bootable installer is created. - When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Catalina. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
Dec 29, 2017 I'm facing the same issue, I have tried creating the USB installer using the createinstallmedia command and also Pandora's box. And also tried adding the custom boot option in config.plist - GUI. None of these solutions have worked for me, I am unable to see the High Sierra installation volume on boot.
Using pyinstaller, I found a better method using shortcut to the.exe rather than making -onefile. Anyways there's probably some data files around and if you're running a site-based app then your program depends on html, js, css files too. No point in moving all these files somewhere. Instead what if. Register the V-Ray render slave – Registers V-Ray Standalone as a service and automatically start upon the Mac OS X boot. In this case the V-Ray Standalone server will run in the background as a service and there will be no need to run it manually. You will be able to use this machine as a render slave. Press the Finish button. Create your Xojo account and download Xojo to get started developing your first app. Build your app’s user interface via drag and drop then use our clear and powerful language to provide your app with it’s unique functionality. When you're ready, compile your app. Jan 03, 2017 OK, here is the plan then: Create a.app that contains everything to run: Python, Full source code; Sign it; On startup it adds /Library/Application Support/ZeroNet as working directory, so data, log will be saved there and it also adds to python sys.path, so plugins amd updates also can be placed there.
* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the
--applicationpath
argument, similar to the way this argument is used in the command for El Capitan.![Standalone App No Gui Boot Found Mac Standalone App No Gui Boot Found Mac](/uploads/1/2/6/3/126391633/379279872.png)
Use the bootable installer
After creating the bootable installer, follow these steps to use it:
- Plug the bootable installer into a compatible Mac.
- Use Startup Manager or Startup Disk preferences to select the bootable installer as the startup disk, then start up from it. Your Mac will start up to macOS Recovery.
Learn about selecting a startup disk, including what to do if your Mac doesn't start up from it. - Choose your language, if prompted.
- A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the Internet, but it does require the Internet to get information specific to your Mac model, such as firmware updates. If you need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, use the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar.
- Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.
