How to Update Your Mac to macOS 10.13

Are you looking for a way to download the complete installer application of macOS Big Sur 11.6.1? You've come to the right place! In this article, we'll show you how to do it using the command line.

To start, make sure you're running an M1 Mac or later version. This is because the available software installers reported by Software Update will only include versions that support M1 hardware.

Here's the syntax for listing out available macOS Installers from Terminal:

`softwareupdate -fetch-full-installer -full-installer-version 10.15`

Remember to replace `.*.*` with the version you want to download. For example, if you want to download the full macOS Catalina installer, use the following command:

`softwareupdate -fetch-full-installer -full-installer-version .*.*`

Once you've entered the command and hit return, the downloaded installer application will appear in the `/Applications` directory of your Mac, just like you would have downloaded it from the Mac App Store or Software Update control panel.

This particular flag for the command line softwareupdate tool is only available in macOS Catalina 10.15 and later versions of macOS, so if you're trying to use this method from Mojave or earlier, it won't be available. Instead, you'll have to rely on other methods to download full macOS installers.

With this trick, you can download complete 'Install macOS' application packages directly from the Terminal application. This works for downloading full installers of macOS Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, and High Sierra as well.
