Creating a bootable Sierra flash drive in Terminal?

Hey guys, I downloaded the DMG file which is on my desktop. I opened Terminal and typed


sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app


Hit Enter but got this


sudo: /Applications/Install macOS Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found


What can I do please?

Bootable Installer


sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled  --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction &&say Done


The Full Installer of Sierra must be located in the Application Folder.


Further - the Untitled in above command is the Name of the USB Destination Drive. The drive should be 16 GB and Empty, formatted as HFS Journaled and with the GUID Partition Map
