# Creating macOS Installers
This document is centered around downloading and writing the macOS installer to a USB drive. If you're planning to install macOS on other system than you're currently running, it is recommended to choose the Mac model in Settings now before proceeding, so that automatic root patching works correctly later on.
- Note: A 32GB drive is recommended, later versions of Sonoma and Sequoia cannot fit installer and patches to a 16GB disk. 16GB drive may work for older versions.
