The Terminal window displays the progress of the process, in a very Terminal sort of way, by displaying a textual representation of a progress bar: Erasing Disk: 0%… 10 percent…20 percent… and so on.

Type your admin-level account password when prompted, and then press Return.Paste the copied command into Terminal and press Return. Warning: This step will erase the destination drive or partition, so make sure that it doesn’t contain any valuable data.Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).Sudo /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/Untitled -applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app -nointeraction Select the text of this Terminal command and copy it:.
This means that if you moved it before installing Yosemite, you need to move it back before making your installer disk.

(The Terminal command used here assumes the drive is named Untitled.) Also, make sure the Yosemite installer, called Install OS X Yosemite.app, is in its default location in your main Applications folder (/Applications).
Connect to your Mac a properly formatted 8GB (or larger) drive, and rename the drive Untitled. Using the createinstallmedia command in Terminal Here are the required steps: (Follow this tutorial to properly format the drive.) Your OS X user account must also have administrator privileges. That drive must also be formatted with a GUID Partition Table. Whichever method you use, you need a Mac-formatted drive (a hard drive, solid-state drive, thumb drive, or USB stick) that’s big enough to hold the installer and all its data-I recommend at least an 8GB flash drive. The Disk Utility-via-Terminal approach is for the shell junkies out there. The Disk Utility method is the way to go for people who are more comfortable in the Finder (though it does require a couple Terminal commands), and it works under Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite. (Note that the createinstallmedia tool doesn’t work under OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard-it requires OS X 10.7 Lion or later.) The createinstallmedia method is the easiest if you’re at all comfortable using Terminal, it’s the approach that I recommend you try first. I’ve come up with three ways you can create a bootable OS X install drive for the Yosemite: using the installer’s built-in createinstallmedia tool using Disk Utility or performing the Disk Utility procedure using Terminal. If you followed the steps above, enter the following command to create the SSL certificate using the csr file.Create the Yosemite install drive: The options So, let's go ahead and create the self-signed certificate. In a production environment you would submit the certificate request (csr) file to the certificate authority, who would then provide you with the SSL certificate. However, there is no need to purchase a SSL certificate for local development. This certificate has no authority, and I will get a warning from my browser indicating this.
However, on my local development environment I am going to create a self-signed certificate.
This next step is not required in a production environment. The FQDN, or fully qualified domain name, must match the website URL. So, enter whatever suits you - except for Common Name (e.g. $ sudo openssl req -new -key -out Īfter executing this command, you will be prompted to enter information about the entity/organization/company.Īs this is a self-signed certificate, this doesn't really matter.
