Open Terminal on a working Mac. Type `sudo createinstallmedia --nointeraction --volume /Volumes/YOUR_USB_DRIVE` (replace `YOUR_USB_DRIVE` with the name of your USB drive). Enter your administrator password when prompted. The process will format the drive and copy the macOS installer files. Do not interrupt the process.
