Step 2. Download macOS Big Sur Latest Version

In order to download the macOS Big Sur latest version, open the extracted folder and open the GibmacOS.bat on Windows and GibmacOS.command on macOS.

The first thing it will download is the mountainlion-lion snowleopard-leopard.merged. I don’t know what it is but I can guess that will list the macOS versions which GibmacOS can support to download.

Here is that link: https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog

Now you have to Choose a version of the macOS which you want to download. I will go with the macOS Big Sur latest version.

Now you have to wait until the file is downloaded, it will take some time.

Downloading Process

Upon the completion it looks like this.

The same steps are inside the mac, here are the photos as a slideshow

Step 3. Build macOS Installer

As I said before, you need to combine the downloaded files and make it an Installer. To do that, open GibmacOS inside the mac and run the BuildmacOSInstallApp.command.

Once the App is opened drag the folder which contains the downloaded macOS. The line which is highlighted is the location of macOS High Sierra.
