Downloading Installers for Mac OS from Terminal

To download the latest macOS installer available for your Mac from the Terminal use the following command:

You can also download specific installer versions by using the following command, replacing the text VERSION with version number in the form 00.00.0:

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version VERSION

For example, to get macOS 11.3.1 use this:

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 11.3.1
