Download and Install macOS 14 Sonoma Beta Right Now [Tutorial]

wccftech.com:

macOS 14 beta is now available for download if you're a registered developer. Here's how you can install it right away.

WWDC23 was exciting as ever. But if you're reading this, then you're excited about the newly announced macOS Sonoma update for the Mac. It comes packed with a ton of new features, and you can read about them right here.

So, enough of the reading. You are wondering how you can download and install macOS Sonoma beta right now. Before you do that, there are a few things that should be made clear before you initiate the download.

First and foremost, the update is available for developers only. Eventually, it will become available for public beta testers - usually after a couple of developers betas have been released. If you don't have an Apple developer account, then you are pretty much out of luck installing the beta right away. Sign up for the developer program with your Apple ID by going to this link.

Secondly, since this is beta software, you can expect a lot of things to go wrong while using it. This includes broken third-party app compatibility, bad battery life on a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air and even overheating issues in some cases. It feels embarrassing to say this, but this sort of thing is completely normal when you are testing out a beta.

Last but not the least, you should have a Mac that is compatible with macOS Sonoma beta. If your Mac is not on the list, then you can't test out the beta. And so far, Apple has a solid track record for not supporting older Mac computers after the official compatibility list is published. So please, have a good look at the list below before you go on installing the update (or not).

Before going ahead, please make sure you have created a backup of everything. This
