How Do You Download the Apple macOS Ventura Beta?

Install Through the Apple Developer Program

To start installing macOS Ventura, you need to sign up for the Apple Developer Program using Safari on your Mac. If you have not already, visit Apple's website for details about the program and then follow our steps below.

  • Back up your Mac. Then, on the Apple Developer Program website, click the Enroll button at the top right. Read and accept the terms. Then you can click the Start Your Enrollment button at the bottom.
  • Log in with your Apple ID and password. If you have set up two-factor authentication, enter the code sent to your Apple devices into your web browser. After entering it, you can click the Trust button to avoid entering the code again.
  • Buy the membership for $100. You can turn off auto-renewal so you are not charged again next year.
  • After you sign in and buy a license, there should be a new sidebar you can view. Items such as Membership, Certificates IDs and Documents should appear. Under Additional Resources , look for Downloads.
  • You will be taken to a web page listing all the downloads you can use. Click the Install Profile button next to macOS 13 Beta.
  • This will download the .pkg file. Make sure you note where it was saved.
  • After the .pkg file has downloaded, double-click it to launch it and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • When the Install macOS Developer Beta Access Utility closes, go to the Apple menu and select System Preferences, then Software Update. From there you will see macOS 13 Beta listed. Now click the Upgrade Now button and wait. The download should take about an hour depending on your internet.
  • When the download finishes, the Install macOS 13 Beta app should open on your system. If it does not, look for it under your apps, or refresh and go back to System Preferences to check the download again. Follow the instructions on your screen and select the drive you want to install macOS Ventura on. Your Mac will restart a few times and you will eventually be up and running with the operating system.

Install Through the Apple Beta Software Program in July

Although macOS Ventura has not yet been opened to the public for free testing, Apple has said it will happen in July. When it does, you can test it through the Apple Beta Software Program. Here is how.

  • Back up your Mac. Then, in Safari on your Mac, sign in to the Apple Beta Software Program website with your Apple ID. If it is set up, you may be asked to enter a code for two-factor authentication. Enter the code to continue.
  • After signing in, you need to enroll your Mac using the macOS Public Beta Access Utility. Scroll down the enrollment page and click the blue Download button in the second step on the page.
  • Install this utility and follow the instructions on your screen.
  • After the utility is installed, you can go to the Apple menu and select System Preferences and then Software Update.
  • You will see macOS Public Beta listed. Now click the Upgrade Now button. Let it download. Eventually, you will see a pop-up containing an installer. Follow the instructions and select the drive for installation. Your Mac will restart and you will have Ventura!

Although we will not go into details, there are ways to get the early developer beta of macOS Ventura for free. Again, you can look into these methods at your own risk. It would involve downloading the same profiles we mentioned above and following the same steps, but skipping the $100 fee.

That said, since the developer beta is quite unstable, and downloading profiles from websites not approved by Apple is extremely unsafe and probably illegal, we strongly advise against it. It is best to wait for Apple to fix the bugs and download it through the Apple Beta Software Program.
