Using MDS (Mac Deploy Stick) will allow downloading a macOS installer application to anywhere you wish.

MDS is a third party application which is free and can be downloaded from here:


Be sure to read the entire instructions from the MDS developer site (developer is Two Canoes). With this app you can download and keep/archive as many versions of macOS that you want.

There is also a great article explaining the MDS app at OSX Daily:

Further info: It appears the only installers that are available with MDS are High Sierra to Big Sur. Looks like if you need anything earlier than High Sierra, you will still have to hunt around to find it.
