How to get a bootable installer. I tried to download the Catalina installer from this link ( How to create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support ), but its only downloading it as an update, rather than as a installer application like i need. How do i get it to download in the way I need? Info: I have Monterey, and I'm trying to download Catalina onto a separate volume, and the apple support articles led me to this.
