The command is softwareupdate. For details and syntax:
man softwareupdate
List, download, and Install are the major verbs for this task.
softwareupdate —-list
softwareupdate —-download {quoted kit name}
softwareupdate --install {quoted kit name}
To update everything:
softwareupdate —-install —-all
macOS itself has some added options:
softwareupdate --list-full-installers
softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version {dotted-version}
You will also need to prepend with sudo to install, as root/Admin access is required.

Perhaps a typo, as It does occur from time to time, but afaik there was never a 13.3.3(a)
Use the Terminal Command below to download the Full Version of 13.4
It will only place a new application in the Applications Folder and NOT Auto Launch
When ready, Launch the Install Ventura Application like any other Application and follow the prompts
Looks like there is a problem with M2 and 13.4.1. As well as previous update. Currently my Intel will update to 13.4.1 yet the M2 Mac mini fails. Fails via
Update in the settings
Update in Safe Mode
Update via command line with softwareupdate with the "-I -a"
Fails with the softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 13.4.1
So what is the magic trick Apple?
Thanks
Yes I tried Safe mode and it went thru the process and it still shows 13.3.1 (a) after the update. It looks and seems normal as it D/L the update and installs taking 8-9 min. but after the restart it is still on 13.3.1
To simplify this matter review an earlier posting from Me P.Phillips
The reply You asked to Me
The single exact command to be copied and pasted in Terminal.
press the Return key on keyboard
It has worked fine on 3 different M1 / M2 computers I own
No error message, just after the reboot and waiting the 40 min it still shows on 13.4.1. and the 13.4 update is still in the software update.
800GB available No AV, No VPN, No cleaners, using a gigabit lan
on my boot drive I have 911GB of 999GB available
Hmmm... you forgot to post said Terminal command 😎
Ouch and thanks.
To help OP can you post it for their usage
in a rush medicate, issue in the house
My bad but I got it right the next time at 13.3.1
And New Mac user so tell me what I need to do on said Terminal?
Thanks
No, No, No, No, and No
As I said new to Mac OS. From Win 3 through 11, So if terminal is like Cmd Prompt then please post the full instructions for me to copy/paste
As posted, Restarting in safe mode yielded the same result. Also, noted that I already confirmed no to all anti-virus, malware, cleaning and VPN programs.
Followed this exactly and after installing it still says 13.3.1 with the 13.4 update available.
ok got it and trying your way using terminal and the command
"softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 13.4"
Doing the install now.
Just finished and after the restart it is still on 133.1
