🪲 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

  1. Run mist download installer "15.2" application --output-directory "/Volumes/PAUL\ BEARD/MIST"
  2. └─ Not enough free space on volume '/': 16.36 GB free, 45.86 GB required
  3. swear

✅ Expected Behaviour

I had hoped it would save the installer to the specified output directory where there is 60Gb of space.

💻 Environment

  • mist version (mist --version): 2.1.1 (latest: 2.1.1)
  • macOS Version (sw_vers): ProductName: macOS
    ProductVersion: 15.1.1
    BuildVersion: 24B91
  • Hardware (system_profiler SPHardwareDataType):

      Hardware Overview:

      Model Name: MacBook Air
      Model Identifier: MacBookAir10,1
      Model Number: FGN63LL/A
      Chip: Apple M1
      Total Number of Cores: 8 (4 performance and 4 efficiency)

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 mist download installer --help, you'll see there is another one for the temporary directory (-t or --temporary-directory), that needs to be somewhere else as well.

Now it's a bug, in that --temporary-directory isn't being used correctly.
