#First aid for mac sierra install#

If the latest version of macOS Sierra available on the Mac App Store is a different one, MAS will fetch it from a different location. # Update: Here, we have mentioned the URL of the package file for macOS 10.12. pfpkg file, which tells Mac App Store where to look for the. When you have downloaded them, you’ll have two packages.

Step 1: Download the macOS Sierra package files from their respective URLs. If you’re new here, just follow the steps mentioned in this section to download macOS Sierra directly without the Mac App Store. Only, instead of one package, there are two this time. If you’re already familiar with downloading El Capitan from outside of MAS, this method also follows similar steps. Note: If you use a Download Manager like Folx to download the raw packages, you’ll also be able to achieve higher download speeds compared to what you’d get if you’d downloaded the update from MAS. Once the files are downloaded to the computer, we’ll configure our system in such a way that Mac App Store fetches the raw packages directly from the local repository (localhost) instead of from the Apple servers. In this workaround, we’ll directly download the raw packages from Apple servers using the web browser or a dedicated download manager. Only when MAS processes these files during the download, are they converted to an installable (.app) file that can run on your Mac. These packages are not directly installable on your Mac.

Ideally, when you download macOS Sierra from the Mac App Store, some raw package files will be downloaded to your computer.
