Ensure you have Go installed on your system.\n2. Clone or download this repository.\n3. Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory.\n4. Run the following command to build the binary:\n    ```bash\n    go build\n    ```\n    This will generate an executable file named `MacOsInstallerToDiskImg` in the current directory.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Step 1: Download a macOS Installer\n\nEnsure you have downloaded a macOS installer from the App Store.\nYou can typically find it in the `/Applications` folder.\nFor example:\n```bash\n/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/\n```\n### Step 2: Run the Command\n\nTo convert the macOS installer into a disk image, run the following command:\n```bash\nMacOsInstallerToDiskImg /path/to/macos/installer.app /path/to/output.iso\n```\nFor example, to convert the macOS Mojave installer into an ISO file, you would run:\n```bash\nMacOsInstallerToDiskImg /Applications/Install\\ macOS\\ Mojave.app/ ~/MacOSMojave.iso\n```\nThis will create an ISO image of the macOS Mojave installer in your home directory with the name `MacOSMojave.iso`.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstephane-archer%2Fmacosinstallertodiskimg","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstephane-archer%2Fmacosinstallertodiskimg","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstephane-archer%2Fmacosinstallertodiskimg/lists"}
