Bootable MacOS 10.14 Mojave USB help

I have one, and I already downloaded the installer.
 

 

I will try it, the installer is called "Install macOS 10.14 Beta". Thank you very much!

Np. It's a matter of reading the command. You're executing createinstallmedia which is in the installer app, you point it to the drive you want to use and to the installer app itself. 

 

the \ symbol indicates a space will follow it and is required for file names that have spaces in them. Otherwise it won't be able to find the right files.

 

/Applications/Install\ macOS\ 10.14\ Beta.app would be the path and name to use.

So I know there's a command to make a bootable USB for current version of OS X High Sierra, which is 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app

But I can't find any command for the newly released OS X Mojave, and I realized that the command for different OS X versions has some similarities. So can anyone help me modified the command so it will work with Mojave? Appreciate any help!
P/S: My drive is named "MyVolume" fyi

The installer probably isn't called Install macOS Mojave but rather macOS Developer Beta.

 

It'd probably be

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app
