This is by far the Best tutorial for creating a OSX bootable USB using terminal. Much better than copying the text from a tutorial and running into problems not finding the files. I learnt something about Terminal in the process and am confident to do this myself with other OSs in the future. THANK YOU!

While in terminal, erases the disk completely then begins process of copying to disk until it gets to 90% then gets an error “ error domain=nscocoaerrordomain code=512 “

at 2:57 you say go to Utilities; Startup Security Utility, but I don't get that, I only get Firmware Password utility, Network utility or ask all this since after pressing Option while starting the usb inserted doesn't show up, help!

Hi sir, I hope you will see this and respond. Thanks for the great tutorial. I am trying to create a bootable Catalina USB for my hackintosh. I am using my MacBook to download the Catalina Installer. Unfortunately it fails as my Mac is currently on Monterey. Please let me know; do I need to be on a version lower than Catalina in order to be able to download the Install Catalina file? Can I download an iso file instead?
