This script uses vagrant to download the latest macOS seed.
- VMware Fusion 8.5+ Professional
- macOS 10.12+
- A macOS vagrant box (valid macOS license required)
- Vagrant VMware provider (purchase required)
- macOS Sierra Developer Beta Access Utility.dmg (Apple Developer account required)
You must have an updated macOS vagrant box. Due to licencing restrictions, it is not advisable to publicly post an macOS vagrant box. You will need to create one yourself using a valid copy of the macOS installer app. I do this using vfuse or osx-vm-templates.
Clone and change directories to the repo.
git clone [email protected]:chilcote/appleseed.git && cd appleseed
Edit Vagrantfile to point to your vagrant box:
config.vm.box = "YOUR VAGRANT BOX"
Move your copy of macOS Sierra Developer Beta Access Utility.dmg (Apple Developer account required) to the root of the repo.
mv ~/Downloads/macOS_Sierra_Developer_Beta_Access_Utility.dmg /path/to/appleseed/
Launch vagrant, which will spin up a copy of macOS and automate the download of the latest macOS seed update package.
vagrant up
You will see output indicating progress, and when finished there will be a copy of the package in the ./data directory. There is also a ./data/seed_url file which contains the build number a direct download link for the update package in case you need to download it again.
ls ./data
macOSUpd10.12.1.pkg seed_url
When complete, you can delete the vagrant box until the next time a seed is released.
vagrant destroy
