Just did this and have to say this was the clearest and easiest commands out of all the dozens of videos on YouTube. The fact that you just dragged those files into the terminal window is incredible and saved having to type in those commands or copy and paste them into the window was brilliant. Cannot thank you enough.

much easier to follow, especially with the "drag n drop" technique. other tutorial videos only asked the user to copy n paste the path. by demonstrating the "drag n drop" approach, it educates the user the process behind the commands. thank you for that.

Thank you. Like your previous comment, I searched many blog articles about this topic to no avail. Your video quickly explained how to get Sierra installed on the USB to boot from and it worked 100%. Awesome!

Words can't describe how happy I am to have stumbled over you video. I have been trying various things various websites told me to but I could not really do what was supposed to be done. Now with your video I can do it because it is kept simple and most important of all - understandable! Thanks and subscribed!

I've made boot disks in the past but this is the best and easiest tutorial. It seems like there are fewer steps than I remembered from the past. Thanks!

WOW I love youtube... you learn so much. Ive just sold my iMac and really needed to create a bootable USB. This was excellent. I erased the H-Drive from the disk utilities once booted up holding Option. Then after erasing the drive I installed a fresh clean version of Sierra and I have one happy person with an awesome iMac clean and ready to rock his world :D

VERY easy to follow. Drag and drop and no downloading any useless third party apps. Fun to do within the terminal itself. Thank you.
