The process can take some time (about 10 minutes), and will seem like its not doing anything (there is no progress bar).
Make Bootable Usb Sierra How To Create AWith the help of a GUI, Jack Wallen shows you how to create a handy flash drive for macOS.![]() Weve already covered how to do this from the command line (See How to create a bootable USB to install OS X ), but I wanted to give those with a fear of the command line a way to do the same thing. That means--GUI If you know such a USB drive is in your future, but do not want to toy with the terminal, youre in luck--the process can be done with the help of a handy GUI. Lets do just that. Ill be demonstrating this on a 2017 MacBook Pro with High Sierra. ![]() I highly recommend at least a 12GB flash drive that will be used solely for this purpose. You dont want to create your installer drive and accidentally erase the installer files while working with a spreadsheet or presentation. Dont forget, if this is a standard USB flash drive youll need an adapter for the USB C ports on the laptop. To get this software, open the App Store and search for High Sierra. After clicking on the entry, you will either see an Open or Download button. If youve already downloaded the file--itll be listed as Open (otherwise, click Download). The USB does not have to be formatted in any particular way, as the installer will take care of this for you. Download the GUI tool The tool we will be using is called Install Disk Creator. This particular app is a self-contained piece of software, so theres no actual installation to be done. Simply download the file, open up finder, change into the directory housing the download, and double-click on the downloaded file. Once Install Disk Creator opens ( Figure A ), click on the top drop-down and select the correct USB drive to be used. By default the tool will select your local drive--do NOT use that drive for the installer. Install Disk Creator should automatically select the downloaded installer file. If you have more than one downloaded, you can click Choose a macOS install and then select which one you prefer. The app will warn you that everything on your USB drive is about to be permanently erased. You will then be prompted for your user password (or, if you have a touchbar, to touch the fingerprint sensor). With authentication out of the way, the app will create the bootable USB drive.
