The main tool needed is the mas-cli utility by Dmitri Rodionov, found at GitHub. Strange.īut thanks to user jasminetroll and his/her straight-to-the-point tip, I was able to re-download Install macOS Sierra.app officially, using some Terminal magic and with very little hassle, compared to other (evidently, more painful) methods such as the one described over at 7 Labs. Whilst searching for answers, I stumbled across a discussion over at MacRumors Blog where people confirmed this, too, and expressed their dissatisfaction to the fact that Apple had removed Install macOS Sierra from their AppStore so quickly not to mention a theory that this specific download doesn’t really make part of official or registered purchases by end-users, like all previous (and still available) Mac OS X releases. This was just days after High Sierra was out. It was either deleted from the AppStore or visibly not available to end-users, anymore. However, to my surprise, when I visited the AppStore on my Mac, I could not find the Install macOS Sierra entry, which I had very well downloaded some time ago. I did the exact same thing with El Capitan 10.11.6 when Sierra was officially out, last fall. I normally do this when every new macOS release is out, since the 10.xx. Once macOS 10.13.0 High Sierra became officially available to the public, I decided to keep a backup of the macOS 10.12.6 Sierra installation application on my Mac, for archiving reasons.
