How to install macOS Sierra on your Mac without being a developer [video]

On Monday afternoon, Apple kicked off WWDC 2016 with the unveiling of its renamed desktop operating system. MacOS Sierra, a software full of novelties whose first beta version is now available for developers. But if you can't handle the release of the first public beta in July, you can now download and install it on your Mac.

Install macOS Sierra even if you are not a developer

Before starting the process, what you should know, even if you already know it, is that MacOS Sierra It is in beta version, that is to say, a preliminary version intended for testing, unofficial and that, therefore, could still contain certain bugs and errors. For this reason, it is advisable that you do not install it on your main Mac, but rather that you install it on a partition, on a secondary Mac or, if all you want is to take a look at it, on an external hard drive. That said, let's get down to business😅.

MacOS Sierra compatible computers

• iMac (late 2009 or later)
• MacBook Air (2010 or later)
• MacBook Pro (2010 or later)
• Mac mini (2010 or later)
• MacBook (2009 or later)
