For those interested in keeping around old installers, Tidbits recently had an article about the certificates expiring for Macintosh OS installers. What I found particularly interesting was the following blurb:
Catalina Enhances softwareupdate Command-Line Tool Speaking of Terminal, Armin Briegel has written on his Scripting OS X blog <https://scriptingosx.com/2019/10/download-a-full-install-macos-app-with-softwareupdate-in-catalina/> that the softwareupdate command has a new option in Catalina that lets you download the full installer for a specific version of macOS. This seems to work with versions of 10.14 Mojave and 10.13 High Sierra, but nothing older. This command downloads the latest Install macOS application to your Applications folder. softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer And this one downloads 10.13.6 specifically. softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.13.6 The entire article can be found at: https://tidbits.com/2019/10/28/redownload-archived-macos-installers-to-address-expired-certificates/ Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
