How to Install High Sierra for Mac Free

Are you looking to install High Sierra on your Mac without having to purchase it from the App Store? You're in luck! With a little help from Terminal, you can create a bootable installer and get started. But before we dive into the process, make sure that your Mac is compatible with the macOS that you're downloading.

Compatibility Requirements

To download a full installer, your Mac must be running macOS High Sierra or later, the latest version of macOS Sierra, or the latest version of OS X El Capitan.

What You Need to Create a Bootable Installer

To create a bootable installer, you'll need:

* A USB flash drive or other secondary volume with at least 14GB of available storage

* The USB drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended

Don't worry if you're not familiar with Terminal commands. We've got you covered! Here's how to use Terminal to create a bootable installer.

Using Terminal to Create the Bootable Installer

1. Open Terminal, which can be found in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.

2. Type or paste one of the following commands into Terminal and press Return:

```

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

```

Replace `MyVolume` with the name of your USB flash drive or other volume.

Enterprise Administrators

If you're an enterprise administrator, you can download the installer from Apple instead of using a locally hosted update server.

Why Create a Bootable Installer?

Creating a bootable installer can be useful if you want to install macOS on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time. It's also handy if you're unable to install a compatible macOS from the Finder or macOS Recovery.

So there you have it! With these simple steps, you can create a bootable installer and get started with installing High Sierra on your Mac.
