This tool just downloads the pkg, so you can use it in your management system, archive the installer pkg, or manually run the installation. The difference is that the other tools then immediately perform the installation so that you get the installer application in the /Applications folder. How is this different than softwareupdate or installinstallmacOS.pyĪs far as I can tell, this downloads the same pkg as softwareupdate -fetch-full-installer and installinstallmacOS.py. Will you update this so it can download older versions? Earlier versions of the Big Sur installer are removed regularly. Apple only provides installer pkgs for Big Sur and later. Can this download older versions of the macOS installer application? I used this as a project to learn more about SwiftUI. Not really, other than it is a UI app and written in Swift and SwiftUI instead of a command line script written in python. Questions Is this different than the fetch-installer-pkg script? ExtrasĬopy the download URL for a given installer pkg from the context menu.Ĭhange the seed program in the Preferences window. I have described the problem and some solutions in detail in this blog post. Since the Big Sur macOS installer application contains a single file larger than 8GB, normal packaging tools will fail.

You may want to download the installer pkg instead of the installer application directly, because you want to re-deploy the installer application with a management system, such as Jamf.

You can then choose to download one of them. It will list the full macOS Big Sur (and later) installer pkgs available for download in Apple's software update catalogs.

Most of the world's problems today (including digital ones) are caused by the same few lies that people won't let go that's been pushed since the 50s/60s by the Uni Party.This is a Swift UI implementation of my fetch-installer-pkg script. (Good for Canada).Īrchive would've just leech off of their resources and Canada is already very broken which many people are not happy there anymore thanks to the same lies that people believe in there. They supposedly got hundreds of thousands of dollars which they had a 'goal point' but it appears they either never followed thru or Canada never allowed them in. I see lots of complaints on the general discussion forums so I think this site is in/on it's last legs.īack in 2016 the site's admin and staff all freaked out believing the age old lies about Trump threatening to go to Canada if he won. This site is on it's last legs the left are so doped up they have essentially killed a once functional asset and sadly the right wing dopes only care about making money and not if a product works or not either. It downloads halfway then times out repeatedly day after day so I give up with large files.
