Scripts of possible interest to macOS admins

macadmin-scripts's Introduction

macadmin-scripts

Some scripts that might be of use to macOS admins. Might be related to Munki; might not.

These are currently only supported using Apple's Python on macOS. There is no support for running these on Windows or Linux.

In macOS 12.3, Apple will be removing its Python 2.7 install. You'll need to provide your own Python to use these scripts. You may also need to install additional Python modules.

getmacosipsws.py

Quick-and-dirty tool to download the macOS IPSW files currently advertised by Apple in the https://mesu.apple.com/assets/macos/com_apple_macOSIPSW/com_apple_macOSIPSW.xml feed.

installinstallmacos.py

This script can create disk images containing macOS Installer applications available via Apple's softwareupdate catalogs.

Run python ./installinstallmacos.py --help to see the available options.

The tool assembles "Install macOS" applications by downloading the packages from Apple's softwareupdate servers and then installing them into a new empty disk image.

If /usr/bin/installer returns errors during this process, it can be useful to examine /var/log/install.log for clues.

Since it is using Apple's installer, any install check or volume check scripts are run. This means that you can only use this tool to create a diskimage containing the versions of macOS that will run on the exact machine you are running the script on.

For example, to create a diskimage containing the version 10.13.6 that runs on 2018 MacBook Pros, you must run this script on a 2018 MacBook Pro, and choose the proper version.

Typically "forked" OS build numbers are 4 digits, so when this document was last updated, build 17G2208 was the correct build for 2018 MacBook Pros; 17G65 was the correct build for all other Macs that support High Sierra.

If you attempt to install an incompatible version of macOS, you'll see an error similar to the following:

Making empty sparseimage...
installer: Error - ERROR_B14B14D9B7
Command '['/usr/sbin/installer', '-pkg', './content/downloads/07/20/091-95774/awldiototubemmsbocipx0ic9lj2kcu0pt/091-95774.English.dist', '-target', '/private/tmp/dmg.Hf0PHy']' returned non-zero exit status 1
Product installation failed.

Use a compatible Mac or select a different build compatible with your current hardware and try again. You may also have success running the script in a VM; the InstallationCheck script in versions of the macOS installer to date skips the checks (and returns success) when run on a VM.

Important note for Catalina+

Catalina privacy protections might interfere with the operation of this tool if you run it from ~/Desktop, ~/Documents, ~/Downloads or other directories protected in Catalina. Consider using /Users/Shared (or subdirectory) as the "working space" for this tool.

Alternate implementations

macadmin-scripts's Issues

installinstallmacos.py not creating sparse image

Hi I am running this script in order to get a sparse image but I get an error.

I am using a MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch early 2015 (MacBookPro12,1) running 10.15.7
I am running it like this: python /path/to/installinstallmacos.py --clear --ignore-cache --os=10.15 --raw

The error I get is:
Making empty sparseimage...
installer: Error - the package path specified was invalid: './content/downloads/26/37/001-68446/r1dbqtmf3mtpikjnd04cq31p4jk91dceh8/001-68446.English.dist'.
Command '[u'/usr/sbin/installer', u'-pkg', u'./content/downloads/26/37/001-68446/r1dbqtmf3mtpikjnd04cq31p4jk91dceh8/001-68446.English.dist', u'-target', '/private/tmp/dmg.ZtUJnr']' returned non-zero exit status 1
Product installation failed.

I also have tried using --os=11 but getting the same error.

Am I doing something wrong here ? The mac is hardware ready for Catalina as well as Big Sur.

Feature request: make installinstallmacos.py --list work without root

The --list feature works fine if I comment out the root check, so it would be nice to remove that check when doing --list. Even the import of xattrs could be avoided when using --list so the script doesn't require the particular MacOS python.
Would it be possible to make the script work on linux when just using --list ? (Or does such a tool already exist ?)

Board ID on a VM listed incorrectly in output

Shown as Board ID: latform. Some kind of parsing error.

updating an iMacPro with High Sierra: "can't install Mojave on a non-apfs-volume.."

mojave installer cannot run cause internal volume is not APFS.. its still high sierra on an internal HFS+-volume..
after we updated many machines to mojave this is probably the last one and now i get this error..
Normally the step of reformatting the drive to APFS was included in mojave-installer I thought..
I tried two different builds, mojave 10.14.4 and 10.14.6.. getting the same result..
Does it make sense to better use an older version of installinstall.py ?
thank u for any help..

When I run myMac:macadmin-scripts username$ sudo /Users/username/git/macadmin-scripts/installinstallmacos.py I am getting the error Could not find a default catalog url for this OS version. Can anybody tell me how to define a catalog url for my OS version (I would like to install macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)), since it’s the last macOS compatible to my iMac 27inch (mid 2011)?

Hello,
i downloaded latest big sur installer from your script but i get this error:

Is there any workaround?

[FR] PyPI: package this as a pip-installable app?

Hi, currently I'm forced to just wget the installinstallmacos.py from GitHub when I want to use it in an automation. Having a lot experience with Python packaging ecosystem, I think that it'd be rather great having this published to PyPI.
So it'd be possible to do something like pip install macadmin-scripts and run the corresponding script via installinstallmacos or maybe python -m installinstallmacos. This would also allow declaring the dependencies so that the hack with ImportError for informing the end-users that they need to learn how to install something extra wouldn't be necessary.
Maintaining a package metadata declaration isn't too much burden, in my experience. And publishing to PyPI is possible through GHA so the release would be a single-click process. I'm willing to help with setting up this stuff, if needed.

NO New Updates Anymore!

Hi, I have run for a while the script with no issue, both on Mojave and Big Sur. Downloaded and installed a few OS perfectly. Thank you.

However, lately seem to be stack showing always the some built and no new release. I have update Big Sur to 11.2 b2 showed via System Preferences but not from the script which is stack to 11.1.

I did tried to run the script with the --ignore-cache flag but didnt solved the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I have problem to run installinstallmacos.py . I see that this mac is not correctly identified. I have MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016). I report below is MacBookPro13 which is i think different model. At the end whole installation fails. From log I can't say why.

Here is my console log:

ISTR that this was working just a day or two ago (maybe yesterday) so I am wondering if perhaps Apple changed something.

OS Version : 10.15.6

After loading to USB device via Disk Utilities, MacBook Air does not detect USB device while in target boot mode

Steps to produce

Successfully ran installinstallmacos.py, created Catalina installer (latest version) on MacBook Air.
- No errors on termination of the script.
Used Disk Utilities and Restore to load produced .dmg file to USB device (16GB thumb drive).
When booting by holding down option, the thumb drive is not recognized.

Notes/Troubleshooting

Flags include boot and all files appear to be present. Is this user error?
The same MacBook Air was used to produced the files/drive that is trying to utilize the install, so that requirement should be satisfied.
This MacBook Air shows an install of High Sierra on a thumb drive produced by the official instructions.
This thumb drive (with Catalina currently loaded) had previously been used to install High Sierra, so the thumb drive shouldn't be the problem.

Are there any steps I can take to further test or produce debugging output to confirm the script ran successfully?

Consider --auto option grabbing latest rather than earliest valid build

Or add a --latest argument.

installinstallmacos.py

The shebang at the top calls for /usr/bin/python, which on MacOS defaults to Python 2.7. This means that your script will always default to using Python 2.7.

Wrong macOS version gets downloaded

I tested the script installinstallmacos.py on my machine and i selected the option to download macOS 10.15.7-19H15. The script however downloads version macOS-10.15.7-19H11 instead!

This is the scripts output on my machine:

I select option 2 and it downloads everything and creates a .dmg file. But the version of the installer inside the dmg file is wrong.

This is the content of the file Info.plist inside the downloaded installer app:

The command softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.15.7 also downloads the wrong version.

Do you have any idea why that is? Could it be, that the wrong build is installed on my machine?

Thanks! Manuel

Facility to Restart Interrupted Download?

Thank you for maintaining this project.
I wondered if there is any capability built into or planned for macadmin-scripts to allow the restart (from where it got to) of a download in the event of a curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer?
While attempting to download the following item:
14 042-45246 11.7.10 20G1427 2023-09-11 macOS Big Sur
... the following error resulted over halfway through the download:

Or is only solution to attempt the download again from scratch?

Add "--limit-rate " option to curl. Download-only option not needing sudo in installinstallmacos.py

See munki#51 where I originally submitted this request to add 2 trivial features.
