How to Download macOS 14 Sonoma and Install on Your Mac?

Apple launched a new version of its computer operating system — macOS 14. Codenamed ‘macOS Sonoma,’ it was unveiled at the World Wide Developer Conference 2023 two days ago. While the stable Software is not out yet, the developer’s beta has been made available. And in this guide, we will show you how to install the macOS 14 Developer Beta on your Mac.

Before we proceed, it should be noted that a developer’s beta software builds tend to be very unstable and full of bugs and issues. That is because the Software is still under development. So, it is not advisable to install it on your primary device. Do so at your own risk.

Before you start

In case you are unaware, you can install macOS 14 Developer Beta on your Mac only if you are a member of the Apple Developer Program. Also, you have to register your Mac under this membership to be able to install the Software.

Lastly, ensure you have backed up your device before beginning the process. This is just a safety measure.
