Problem Using Terminal When Creating Bootable MacOS Drive on M1 MacBook Air ZHS: KILLED

Trying to make a bootable flash drive for High Sierra. I have the official .app download from Apple and trying to get it onto a freshly formatted 64gb flash drive. It's formatted for Mac and GUID Partition Map.

Using M1 Macbook Air with latest Ventura 13.3.1

Keep getting this error:

zsh: killed sudo --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

Volume name is correct and paths for everything look right. Naming all matches up. I'm at a loss here.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.3

Not possible to achieve the Bootable Installer of High Sierra on This Computer

The Bootable Installer can Only be performed on an Apple Computer

This will have to be performed from a Qualifying Computer to run the version of macOS to be made on the Bootable Installer.

Example : Bootable Installer of High Sierra would have to be done on a computer that Qualifies to run High Sierra.

Notation: If the computer being used to perform this action is Too New or Too Old to qualify to run the version of macOS - this computer can not be used.

Alternative is, to gain access to a Qualifying Apple Computer from a family member, friend or associate.

Please post the exact command line that you are trying to use to make the installer. It seems that you are not writing the command correctly, if the message you posted is accurate.
