macOS Bootable Disk – Solving Error during creation of OS X Mavericks USB

bootable-diskmacbook promacos

I am running on OS X Mavericks GM and now that Mavericks has finally released, I downloaded it from App Store. I wanted to make a bootable USB of it so I followed This Tutorial but when I tried to run the command for copying the files from .app to USB I got the following error

Ankurs-MacBook-Pro:~ Ankur$ sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia
--volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app -nointeraction
Password:
sudo: /Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found
Ankurs-MacBook-Pro:~ Ankur$

What can I do to resolve this issue?

EDIT
Using DiskMaker X I got the same error

Had the same problem. Thought the file "createinstallmedia" was missing, but that wasn't the case. Then I realised I simply needed to make it executable with the following command:

sudo chmod +x /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia

This will create the executable that DiskMaker X initially couldn't find. After running the command above you shouldn't have the error anymore.

Hope that helps :)
