Installing Mac OS X 10.10 alias “Yosemite” to USB

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

I was just surprised that the “Install OS X Yosemite.app” actually comes with a “createinstallmedia” helper, how nice of them:

$ sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/Install –applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app –nointeraction
Erasing Disk: 0%… 10%… 20%… 30%…100%…

Done.
