MacOS Release Dates for installers that balk at newer dates

Various Versions of macOS/OSX will fail on install for various reasons. You can fix them by disconnecting from your wifi or network or resetting your NVRAM. Booting from your USB stick, opening terminal and doing: date ########## where the # nubers are below. Format is: MMDDhhmmYY

13    - Ventura       - date 0101010123 <- Currently not needed
12    - Monterey      - date 0101010122 <- Currently not needed

11 - Big Sur - date 0101010121 <- Currently not needed

I’ve had success using Homebrew in a multi-user environment the following way:

Create a shared Homebrew user

Create a new (non-GUI) user, group and home directory:

sudo /usr/sbin/sysadminctl -addUser brew \
  -fullName 'Homebrew' -admin -home /var/brew \
  -password - -UID 430 \

Works for macOS Sierra and High Sierra (Improved version)

2 Creating a bootable macOS USB installer

First, plug in an 8GB (or bigger) USB drive, and use Disk Utility to erase it
If you use the default settings, you should wind up with a blank drive at /Volumes/Untitled.

With that volume in place, and with the macOS installer sitting in /Applications/Install\ macOS\ [VERSION].app, run the following command in your terminal to create a bootable install media (for Sierra):

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

	Disclaimer: I in no way encourage the violation of Apple's sofware licences.
	My instructions are hardware agnostic and therefore cannot be interpreted as an attempt to do so.

	You will need:
	1. an intel or universal mac os Tiger installer, personally, I found great success with the 10.4.7 and 10.4.10 installers for various 2007 models.
	2. efi32-srvr.rom, I'm not providing links, google it.
	3. ESXi installed and unlocked with ESXi-Unlocker

	Clover Wizard and Mactracker are great tools for figuring this stuff out in terms of what hardware and what OS versions are compatible,
	most Tiger install disks apart from a few shipped with checks to see what model mac you're running and only install on "compatible" machines.

	The regex patterns in this gist are intended only to match web URLs -- http,
	https, and naked domains like "example.com". For a pattern that attempts to
	match all URLs, regardless of protocol, see: https://gist.github.com/gruber/249502

	The PCRE engine (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) is what BBEdit and TextWrangler use.

	Items I'm unsure of are marked '# PCRE?'. The list while fairly comprehensive is not complete.
