sudo: /Applications/Install Mac OS X.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found

I am trying to flash mac OS X Installer onto my hard drive and for some reason, it is saying it cannot find the file. It is in my Applications folder and yes I got the command correct. I just need a way to do it because it does not want to flash.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

Is it actually Mac OS X as part of the file name? If so, that's why it doesn't work. Old versions of Mac OS don't have the createinstallmedia command within the installer application.
