➜  apple-catalog git:(master) ✗ applecatalog macos products download 071-59953 ~/Downloads/macos
2021-07-08 10:48:27 DoronZ.local root[21530] DEBUG downloading: UpdateBrain.zip

2021-07-08 10:48:27 DoronZ.local root[21530] DEBUG downloading: Info.plist
...

For creating an installation from these files you can now simply:

sudo installer -pkg /path/to/InstallAssistant.pkg -target /

This should create an Install macOS XXXXXX.app application at your /Applications folder. If you wish to make a bootable device from this installation you can use the following official guidelines:
