We all use the computer for our personal and professional use. The computer helps us by making our work more comfortable and more efficient. A PC/Laptop provides us various software that helps us in multiple tasks. A bootable flash drive will allow you to boot your device, rather than your hard drive, from the file system on the flash drive. On the hard drive, your device has a boot sector that includes details about its operation. The boot record for the volume would consist of instructions about running an operating system or other programs. It must have a master boot record, a volume boot record, and contain an operating system or a program that can be run for us to boot into a flash drive. Many software helps us to create a bootable flash drive; one such software is YUMI.
YUMI is a Pen Drive Linux product; this software helps you create multiboot USB flash drives efficiently and effortlessly. It can be used to build a Multiboot USB Flash Drive with various operating systems, antivirus programs, cloning disks, diagnostic tools, and more. Unlike MultiBoot ISOs used by grub to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses sys-Linux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB system and, if necessary, reverts to grub to boot multiple ISO files from USB. This software provides a simple user-interface, which makes it very easy for you to use this software. All files are contained inside the Multiboot or folder (depending on the version), aside from a few distributions, allows for a beautifully structured Multiboot USB Drive that can still be used for other storage purposes. This software functions a lot like the Universal USB Installer, except that more than one distribution can be installed to run Live from your USB. It is also possible to uninstall distributions using the same method. All these features make this software useful and a must-have.

These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
What you need to create a bootable installer
- A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14GB of available storage
- A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, or El Capitan
Download macOS
Yumi Usb Boot
- Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra
These download to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server. - Download: OS X El Capitan
This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.
Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal
- Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace
MyVolume
in these commands with the name of your volume.
Big Sur:*
Catalina:*
Mojave:*
High Sierra:*
El Capitan:
* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath
argument and installer path, similar to the way this is done in the command for El Capitan.
After typing the command:
- Press Return to enter the command.
- When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
- When prompted, type
Y
to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased. - After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
- When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
