2. Download macOS Mojave installer
3. Download macOS Catalina installer

macOS is a versatile and modern operating system packed with great features and functionality as new releases come out. We look forward to this at every conference where the changes brought by the new version of macOS are announced and today we have macOS Catalina . TechnoWikis has explained the process to update the previous editions to a new one which covers the use of the macOS installer which is hosted in Applications and then from there it will be possible to carry out the entire installation process such as downloading Mac Os Catalina installer..

 

This is normally done from the App Store, but there is a method that allows us to download the installers and not only from macOS catalina but from previous versions such as High Sierra or Mojave from the terminal. This will help to make the installer available for use on a USB and from it install macOS on new computers or perform support tasks by downloading macOs Catalina installer.

 

 

TechnoWikis will explain how to download macOS installer for these Catalina, Mojave or Sierra editions..
