What is the sudo command string to create a bootable usb drive for Sierra ?
MacBook Pro
With Install macOS Sierra.app in your Applications folder open Terminal.
Paste in this command
sudo plutil -replace CFBundleShortVersionString -string "12.6.03" /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Info.plist
press return
enter your password
press return
Now paste in the createinstallmedia command for Sierra where MyVolume can be replaced with the name of your USB stick
If your USB name has more than one word separated by spaces you would need to type it in as
/The\ USB\ Name
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app
press return
follow the prompts
The process takes around 30 minutes to complete, be patient, Terminal will look like it is not
doing anything but it is.
