Py2/py3 script that can download macOS components direct from Apple
# gibmacOS scripts

Can also now build Internet Recovery USB installers from Windows using [dd](http://www.chrysocome.net/dd) and [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/download.html).
## Guide
The gibmacOS is a Python2/3 script that can download macOS components direct from Apple and create installers from it.

Thanks to:
To run this script simple issue the following command in your terminal:
```
./gibMacOS.command
```

This will give you a prompt to select the macOS version you wish to download. After downloading the correct version we can create an installer with:
```
./BuildmacOSInstallApp.command
```

Add the download folder as outputed by the first step. An installer will be added to your folder.

You can now create bootable media for your version. For reference check out the official Apple documentation:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372



## Updates
- This script can now also build Internet Recovery USB installers from Windows using [dd](http://www.chrysocome.net/dd) and [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/download.html).
