macOS Monterey is officially released in version Public Beta, which means it can be installed on anything Mac compatible by anyone who wants to explore and test new features and functions.

Being an operating system in the beta development stage, it is expected to encounter anomalies and errors. After all, that is the purpose of the versions. "Public Beta”To a software. Discovering errors and bugs in several scenarios and on a wide range of devices. That's why I don't recommend installing beta software if you have one Mac / MacBook that you also use for work, school or productivity.

Up to macOS Monterey Public Beta I was used to errors appearing after I managed to install the new OS on the MacBook. This time the unpleasant surprise appeared from download macOS Monterey Beta.

To install a version Public Beta of a new version of macOS, is relatively simple. Download the upgrade package from https://beta.apple.com, enroll and “Upgrade Now".
Of course, the process of “Downloading macOS Monterey beta”Which at one point showed me a little strange progress. Download 11.73 GB from 11.73 GB, but the (blue) indicator bar did not reach the end.

After many minutes of waiting, I received the message: “Installation failed - In order to continue installing, you need to be an owner ”. So the display of the download indicator we understand that it is a bug, and the installation error comes due to some permissions of the system user.

How to install macOS Monterey Beta if we receive the error: "Installation failed - In order to continue installing, you need to be an owner ”?

open Port and execute the command line:

 sudo softwareupdate -i -a -R

We enter the password of the system user, then wait until the download and installing macOS Monterey is completed.

In the end, the system will restart. Basically this is what the command line says: (-i) install, (-a) all the latest updates, (-R) restart / reboot.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
