During the past week or so, the Rocket Yard has brought you a pair of articles about macOS Sierraâs early beta test features and how to install the public beta version of the operating system. Today weâre going to show you how to make a macOS Sierra USB installer drive in case you wish to install the beta operating system onto multiple Macs. This can be useful in enterprise situations, where it may be advantageous to determine ahead of time which devices will be able to take advantage of macOS Sierra and which may need to be repurposed.
What Youâll Need
USB Audio ASIO driver, connects USB Audio interfaces to ASIO compatible applications at latencies down to 7ms where you can't feel the delay any longer. Free propagamma / usb-audio Mac/OS.
Getting Started
At this point, we have a long command in the Terminal window (see image above). To execute that command, press Return on your keyboard.
The disk is erased and you will see the desktop icon for it disappear as it is renamed. The new name of the disk is âInstall macOS Sierra Public Betaâ. Depending on the capacity and speed of the disk, it may take a while for the installer files to be copied. The last part of the process makes the disk bootable. Terminal will display âDoneâ and then the Terminal prompt when complete (see below).
Congratulations! You now have a macOS Sierra Public Beta install disk
What now?
OK, weâve created a bootable USB drive that can be used to install macOS Sierra Public Beta on any Mac. How do we go about doing that? Remember the caveat from our earlier posts â do NOT install a beta operating system on any Mac that is used for daily work. If you have an available Mac that you can feel good about erasing, installing beta software, and then re-erasing if necessary, then feel free to do so.
Using Your Installer USB Drive

In the futureâ¦
We recommend an application called DiskMaker X for making bootable drives for installs of operating systems. However, it wonât be ready for macOS Sierra until this fall. At that time, another post will be published showing how to create a macOS Sierra boot drive with DiskMaker X. Until then, your best bet during the beta testing of Sierra is to use this slightly more difficult method.
UPDATE (7/27/16): Reader Ben Slaney noted via Twitter that there is a free Mac app named âInstall Disk Creatorâ available that automates the process so that you donât need to use Terminal. It can be downloaded here.
