#WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD SIERRA OS INSTALL#
Only when downloading from within High Sierra I get an installer that contains the installation files, when I download it in Sierra, my installer is also just about 8 MB, the installation files are downloaded only on install (no idea where the system is storing them during installation).īTW, if you want an installer medium, create a writable DMG with Disk Utility (6 GB of space is sufficient, make sure File System is MacOS Extended, not AFP, leave all other values default), quit Disk Utility (otherwise it will prevent certain kind of write access to that new volume), open Terminal app to get a terminal window and then run: sudo "/Applications/Install macOS 10.13 Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" -applicationpath "/Applications/Install macOS 10.13\ Beta.app" -volume "/Volumes/Untitled" In High Sierra, open Safari and then open this URL to download the installer again:

This thread from MacRumours suggests that it's something to do with the amount of disk space available on the Mac.įirst you need to install High Sierra and then boot it. However, I'm not sure on why are some users getting the 4.90 GB file while others are getting the 7.8 MB file. I appreciate the two answers that I've received and both can be reproduced.
#WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD SIERRA OS FULL#
Is there any way to get the full 4.90 GB installation file?įyi, my Mac is currently running on macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (16D32). Why are some users getting the 4.90 GB file while others are getting the 7.8 MB file? The installation file looks the same as a usual one. However, when I downloaded it, it didn't download the full installation file. Under the 'Information' section, it's stated that the size of the installation file is 4.90 GB. Upon completing installation, it opens the Mac App Store to the macOS High Sierra installation page automatically. I've installed the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility (.pkg file) from Apple Developer's official website.
