output directory argument doesn't work as expected #177
Comments
mist.app does what I expect, just realized it existed. Actually, no. It uses the root disk/filesystem which is short of space as a cache…I would rather it used the external volume. |
Check out |
I am slowly understanding what this does. Looks like I need to use two USB
drives…one to hold the downloaded bits and another as the target for the
installer. My first attempt almost worked but failed on this…
└─ Error: “CFNetworkDownload_QI0ptb.tmp” couldn’t be moved to “072-44286”.
This was run under sudo…I tried again as root and the process defaults to
using the system disk ("/") instead of the defined targets.
└─ Not enough free space on volume '/': 09.79 GB free, 15.29 GB required
Now it fails as sudo as well.
This all seems fine:
├─ User is 'root'...
├─ Download search string will be '15.2'...
├─ Include betas in search results will be 'false'...
├─ Only include compatible installers will be 'false'...
├─ Cache downloads will be 'false'...
├─ Output directory will be '/Volumes/Install macOS Sequoia/'...
├─ Temporary directory will be '/Volumes/PAUL BEARD/'...
├─ Force flag has not been set, existing files will not be overwritten...
├─ Application name will be 'Install %NAME% %VERSION%-%BUILD%.app'...
Still seeing the "Not enough free space on volume '/': " error.
Not sure what to try next.

Check out mist download installer --help, you'll see there is another one
for the temporary directory (-t) You'll need to change that setting as
well.

Now it's a bug, in that |
OK, good to know it's not me. I have tried mucking around with other
options and only gotten more confused. I'll wait on a fix. Not sure how
else to download the installer to a non-root device.

🪲 I am trying to download the latest MacOS update and my installed disk doesn't have enough space. So I found this handy tool that I hoped would allow me to download it to a thumb drive so I could install from that. But no love.
📋 Steps to Reproduce
mist download installer "15.2" application --output-directory "/Volumes/PAUL\ BEARD/MIST"
└─ Not enough free space on volume '/': 16.36 GB free, 45.86 GB required
✅ Expected Behaviour
I had hoped it would save the installer to the specified output directory where there is 60Gb of space.
