A collection of Python scripts for macOS administrators, including tools to download macOS IPSW files from Apple's feeds and build disk images containing macOS Installer applications from Apple's softwareupdate catalogs. The scripts are macOS-only and require a user-provided Python installation on macOS 12.3 and later.
Use cases
- download macOS IPSW files from Apple's mesu feed
- create disk images containing macOS installer applications
- build macOS installer DMGs for deployment with Munki
- fetch specific macOS versions and builds from Apple's softwareupdate catalogs
- automate macOS installer acquisition for Mac fleet administration
When to choose
- you administer Macs and need to download macOS installers or IPSWs programmatically
- you use Munki or similar tools and need macOS installer disk images
- you want a simple, scriptable way to pull installers from Apple's softwareupdate catalogs
When to avoid
- you need to run on Windows or Linux - the scripts are macOS-only
- you need to build installers for hardware incompatible with the machine running the script
- you want a polished GUI or extensive feature set - consider Graham Pugh's fork instead
