Software Update found the following full installers: (note that the option starts with two hyphens, not an m-dash) First list the installers available using the command Your fallback then, if you’re running Big Sur or Monterey, is to use the softwareupdate command in Terminal. Sometimes that may not work, with macOS complaining that it isn’t capable of installing such an old version of macOS/OS X. Look in the main Applications folder for the installer app, whose name should start with Install, and make a copy of that. Once that download completes, the installer app will open and probably inform you that it’s too old to install on that Mac. That will then invite you to confirm that you do want to download the old version. Simply click on the appropriate link, and that installer page will open in the App Store, where clicking on the Get button should start the download through the Software Update pane. Unfortunately installers aren’t always easy to come by, so in this article I explain the options offered by Apple for obtaining an official and properly signed installer for those versions, as well as how to download old versions of Xcode.Īpple’s support page lists all those installers currently available through the App Store and official downloads going back as far as OS X Yosemite. It might be for an old Mac, or a new Virtual Machine, for example. He is certainly glossing over lots of Linux headaches that you will never see on MacOS X.There are plenty of good reasons for wanting to install an old version of macOS or even OS X.
I think Bill is just upset that they deleted one of his posts recently. Not the obstacle course Apple puts you through. Like Bill Scott posted in his screenshot. This whole fiasco has seriously led me to believe a Linux server is what I need. It is a decent security hole so you don't want to run it 24/7. VNC is not installed on the server, and I don't even know what it is.ĭo you have the actual Server version of 10.4? If so, then you do have VNC. I had trouble compiling Lynx on early version of MacOS X while links worked fine. I also attempted to use Lynx, but it does not support https protocol. Curl is supposed to be able to do complicated things like this. You could probably get it to work by specifying the login cookie. Apparently since it is a separate domain, it is not recognized. I was able to login and download that page, but the download URL would not work.
