createinstallmedia : no such file
Trying to get my old Macbook working which ran Catalina until a recent MacOS update fiasco. Couldn't do that so reinstalled Lion 10.8.5 with the intention of upgrading to Catalina with USB stick. Am trying to create this USB stick on another Mac with Big Sur 11.6.5. So downloaded the installer "Install macOS Catalina" and this time am leaving it in the Downloads folder and not placing it in the Applications folder so my Terminal command looks like this:
sudo /Downloads/install\ macOS\ catalina.app/contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /volumes/Samsung_USB
terminal msg:
sudo: /Downloads/install macOS catalina.app/contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found
I can't find any typos in my terminal command--but maybe I'm blind! Any help would be appreciated.....as I just want to get Catalina installed once again. (Restoring via TImeMachine almost worked, but restart hung near the end). Ergo trying the USB stick approach.)
