MAMP is the perfect development environment for any web project. Discover more about the software stack for Mac OS X and Windows. To free up disk space, it's helpful to know exactly what is using disk space on your Mac. A hard disk analysis tool like Disk Inventory X will scan your Mac's hard disk and display which folders and files are using up the most space. You can then delete these space hogs to free up space.
These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
What you need to create a bootable installer
- A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14GB of available storage
- A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, or El Capitan
Download macOS
- Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra
These download to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server. - Download: OS X El Capitan
This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.
Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal
- Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace
MyVolumein these commands with the name of your volume.
Big Sur:*
Catalina:*
Borstal mac os. Mojave:*
High Sierra:*
El Capitan:
* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath argument and installer path, similar to the way this is done in the command for El Capitan.
After typing the command:
- Press Return to enter the command.
- When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
- When prompted, type
Yto confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased. - After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
- When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
Use the bootable installer
Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:
Apple silicon
- Plug the bootable installer into a Mac that is connected to the internet and compatible with the version of macOS you're installing.
- Turn on your Mac and continue to hold the power button until you see the startup options window, which shows your bootable volumes.
- Select the volume containing the bootable installer, then click Continue.
- When the macOS installer opens, follow the onscreen instructions.
Intel processor
- Plug the bootable installer into a Mac that is connected to the internet and compatible with the version of macOS you're installing.
- Press and hold the Option (Alt) ⌥ key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac.
- Release the Option key when you see a dark screen showing your bootable volumes.
- Select the volume containing the bootable installer. Then click the up arrow or press Return.
If you can't start up from the bootable installer, make sure that the External Boot setting in Startup Security Utility is set to allow booting from external media. - Choose your language, if prompted.
- Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the internet, but it does require an internet connection to get firmware and other information specific to the Mac model.
For information about the createinstallmedia command and the arguments you can use with it, make sure that the macOS installer is in your Applications folder, then enter the appropriate path in Terminal:
The Game
Travel through space to reach your target planet on the other side of the sector; use your very limited fuel and the gravitational fields of planets, suns and moons to gracefully slingshot your way through the solar systems.
Fly near a sun to gather new fuel, but be careful not to overheat in the process. Change your trajectory or build up speed with the help of a nearby planet, but don't get flung into the void through carelessness or urgency. The name of the game is practical spacefaring after all.
The procedurally generated sectors makes sure you'll never have to play the same map more then once. Test your skill by how many sectors can you clear in a row.
The Controls
Navigate the menus using you arrow keys. X or Z confirms your selection.
While in game, use the arrow keys to fire your thrusters (until you run out of fuel). X brings up the map, which shows you the planet you need to make your way to, as well as where you are in relation to it.
Pyrogotchi mac os. The game plays fine with gamepads. It will not play very well on phones as there are some sound issues.
The Jam
This game was made for Cartridge Jam 3, Hosted by Dallas Society Of Play. The beautiful cartridge art that inspired this game was made by Ben Hopkins.
This was my first ever game jam as well as the first game I've ever made. If you enjoyed it or have some feedback, please don't hesitate to post your thoughts below.

Love it! Great work. Very challenging and fun. Message me if you want to do a 4k, hi-res version!
Hey, thank you for making a game out of the cart! I love how you ran with the aesthetics, right down to the design of this page.
Practical Spacefaring Mac Os Catalina
The game's a real challenge, I think my best streak was 2! It makes the title pretty amusing, this method of spacefaring seems rarely practical. The refueling/overheating mechanic is very satisfying. Planning ahead is only roughly possible for me, in particular because of the influence of the moving planets. But as hard as the game is, I imagine a very skilled player could win most of the time. If you did want to make it more accessible without significant changes, maybe a larger fuel tank with a lower limit as the player gets a longer streak could ease people into the game.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun with it, well done!
