[MacTUG] Downloading macOS Sierra from the Mac App Store | Der Flounder

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Super valuable (as your tips usually are)!

I needed it a while ago and had a hard time getting it – fortunately Glenn had squirreled it away (as I thought I had). If you don’t have a copy of Sierra I suggest you grab it soon as I am sure that page will not be there forever. (And while you are at it archive High Sierra as you know it will be obsolete – and unavailable – before you know it!)

    Now that macOS High Sierra has been released, it’s become more difficult 
    to access the macOS Sierra installer in the Mac App Store (MAS) for 
    those who still need it.
    
    Previous versions of OS X and Mac OS X which were purchased by an Apple 
    ID will appear in the MAS’s Purchased list for that Apple ID, but macOS 
    Sierra is an exception because it did not need to be purchased using an 
    Apple ID.
    
    Fortunately, Sierra has not been removed from the MAS and it is still 
    available for download. Apple has a KBase article, available via the 
    link below, which shows how to access the macOS Sierra page in the Mac 
    App Store:
    
    https://support.apple.com/HT208202
    
    To access the macOS Sierra page directly, please click on the link below:
    
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-sierra/id1127487414?ls=1&mt=12
    
    That link should open the MAS and take you to the macOS Sierra download 
    page.
