At #3 I get the error “The volume could not be found”. I checked on possible spelling errors, but couldn’t find any. The volume is mounted, and shows right there on my desktop, but terminal wouldn’t see it. I checked the hidden Volumes folder on my HD to see if it was missing or something.

Why is Terminal gaslighting me? Do I need to give it even more admin credentials?

hdiutil eject -force /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ monterey\

There’s a typo in here, ‘monterey’ starts with a capital ‘M’. In combination with the line break at the end, then adding the command listed under #5, the ejection of the image will fail and the subsequent conversion of the .dmg-file in the tmp-folder fails. The dmg file will then be deleted from the tmp-folder by the clean-up command and you basically have to repeat everything from scratch. I’d suggest to change command #4 to

hdiutil eject -force /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ Monterey

This way, you will get confirmation that the volume has been ejected successfully before starting the conversion.

What do I replace the beta.app, it is not working and I have a feeling its because monterey is now released.

If you’re struggling with this its only because the naming convention is slightly off, these worked for me

#3
Sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ monterey\ beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/Monterey
#4
hdiutil eject -force /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ monterey\ beta

The rest is all good, thanks for the guide!!
