If your Mac is out-of-order or you otherwise cannot download macOS from the App Store, you can still create a bootable OS X recovery USB, and you can use that to create an Installer USB.

This is a fork of and builds upon the work of Eddie Webb's search and Matthew Daly's search explorations.
It's built for the Hugo static site generator, but could be adopted to function with any json index.
