That is not currently an objective of this tool.

mas install will not allow you to install an app for the first time, it must already be in the purchased tab of the App Store. Perhaps that is the problem you’re seeing?

@Rohan200220 yes, this may be possible. #106 has discussion on how to install macOS installers and #264 just added purchase support for free apps (due out soon in 1.7). #144 is a request for this without being signed in, which may also be possible.

Hi all.

Thanks very much for your work on this.

I think it is a reasonable expectation for this functionality to be included. It was my expectation this is how it worked, like similar tools such as Homebrew and npm. It was a little disappointing the functionality was not as such.

As @arunsathiya asks, is this a technical limitation or simply something that you consider out of scope?

@argon Just to learn about this issue, is this a limitation from Apple, or is this is something this tool doesn’t support yet?

Is it possible to install OS X installers old which have not been purchased from the App Store?

@argon I think thats the problem… Is there a way to install an app without first downloading it form the app store
