Managing Sequoia Updates in the 'Tahoe' Era

If your System Settings is only offering macOS Tahoe, you can still download the minor security updates for Sequoia (like 15.7.7) without a full installer download.

The Correct Update Path:

  1. 'More Info...' Link: In the Software Update menu, look for a small 'More Info...' or 'Other updates available' link below the Tahoe banner. This usually reveals the Sequoia sub-updates.
  2. OCLP Downloader: Use the 'Download macOS' feature inside the OCLP app itself. It will show you a list of all available versions, allowing you to download the Sequoia installer specifically.
  3. Terminal: Run softwareupdate -l in Terminal to see a full list of available updates, then use sudo softwareupdate -i "UpdateName" to install the specific Sequoia patch.

Original Question: "How is everyone keeping Sequoia up to date?"

Do I need to download the full installer every time? System settings only ever gives me the option to update to Tahoe.
