Tuesday, June 20th, 2017 Author: I’ve always enjoyed working with the latest releases of the Mac OS. Although Apple tends not to release new major versions of the Mac OS until the fall of each year, that doesn’t mean we have to wait till then to take a new OS out for a spin. Apple has long provided developers with early beta versions of OS X and macOS, but only started providing betas to the general public a few years ago. The public betas have the advantage of letting you try out macOS before the general release, giving you the opportunity to participate in finding bugs, check out new features, or just make sure important software you use every day will work with the upcoming version of macOS.

(The target drive for macOS High Sierra will be converted to the APFS file system. You can use Disk Utility to convert additional drives to the new format.) So, be sure to back up your Mac before continuing, and be sure to read the article. Most of all, remember this: DO NOT install the beta on your Mac’s current startup drive. Note: This install guide will be updated when the public beta of macOS High Sierra is officially released. In the meantime, it’s based on earlier developer betas, though I don’t expect any major changes other than a few file names.
OK, let’s get started. Download the macOS High Sierra public beta. You need to be a member of the. Once you’re a member, you’ll be able to download macOS High Sierra beta to your Mac. Follow the download instructions provided by the Apple Beta Software Program.
Once the download is complete, the macOS High Sierra installer will automatically start. At this point, it’s a good idea to quit the installer and perform a few housekeeping tasks before continuing. Create a bootable copy of the installer on a USB flash drive. I highly recommend creating a copy of the installer on a USB flash drive. This will allow you to perform a clean install of the OS on any drive, including a Mac’s startup drive, or in a virtual environment, such as.
Visual Studio Community for Mac is a full-featured and free IDE for creating modern applications for Android, iOS, macOS, as well as web applications and cloud services. A brand-new workload-based installer optimizes your installation to make sure you have everything you need and nothing you don’t. The column ruler defaults to the 80th character which is way too small. How do I adjust this? (I circled it in red below) I tried looking for extensions.

You can find details on creating the bootable flash drive in the article: The above guide was originally created for macOS Sierra, but it will work fine with macOS High Sierra, with just a small change to the installer name (originally “Install macOS Sierra Public Beta”; now “Install macOS High Sierra Public Beta”). Otherwise, the process is pretty much the same. You’ll find instructions for using the flash-based installer in Parallels at the end of this guide. Installing on a Drive Dedicated to macOS High Sierra Beta During the beta process, installing macOS High Sierra on a drive dedicated to the beta is one of the preferred installation methods. You can use either a clean install process, which includes erasing the target drive and then installing the macOS High Sierra beta, or an upgrade install, which allows you to install the beta over an existing macOS or OS X drive. (The macOS High Sierra Beta installer supports a number of installation options.) Because this is beta software, I don’t recommend installing the macOS High Sierra beta over your existing startup drive.
Instead, you can to use as the destination for the install. This will allow you to run macOS High Sierra with all of your current apps and data, a good way to check compatibility while keeping your beta software and your everyday work environment completely separated. For the clean install, start by you will use for hosting macOS High Sierra; remember, this will destroy all data on the drive. The drive should be a separate drive, not the one your current version of macOS or OS X is installed on.
If you choose to perform an upgrade install so you can test compatibility with your existing apps, start by creating a clone of your current startup drive, then use the clone as the upgrade install target. Once the target drive has been erased, or the clone created, launch the Install macOS High Sierra Public Beta installer, located in your /Applications folder. This is the same installer you quit from earlier in this guide. Click the Continue button in the Install macOS 10.13 Beta window. The software license terms will be displayed; click the Agree button. A sheet will drop down asking if you really agree to these terms.
