I am trying to create a bootable flash drive that is named Untitled from my MacBook Pro Retina with Yosemite 10.10.

This is what I am getting in Terminal:

mbp2013retina:~ chris$ sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
sudo: /Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found

Can someone help?

I use following method.

  1. Format the USB:

    • Format it, using Disk Utility, as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive, named Yosemite.

  2. Next run this in Terminal where you can remove the option —nointeraction if you want to get notifications and make decisions yourself about the disk and making the USB installer:

    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app —nointeraction
    • Replace Untitled with name of the USB drive (Yosemite)

  • It is better to use the command without the option ` —nointeraction` because then the user will know what is going to happen and prevent possible complications/damages.

  • Make sure you have two hyphen characters in "--nointeraction"

You just remove the space of os name, once you downloaded in Application Path. Install OS X Yosemite.app to InstallOSXYosemite.app

sudo /Applications/InstallOSXYosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/InstallOSXYosemite.app --nointeraction
