Your Mac must be running (10.6) or later to access the Mac App Store. The installer is downloaded to the /Applications folder.

Be sure to quit the installer and read the rest of this guide before starting the installation process. A supported Mac. The guide lists the Macs that can run Mountain Lion, as well as recommendations beyond the minimum. A target drive or partition.

The target volume must be at least 8 GB in size. You can squeeze Mountain Lion onto a smaller drive, but there won't be much space left for user data and applications. I recommend a minimum volume size of at least 60 GB, which will provide sufficient room for the OS, user data, apps, and some free scratch space. That's my personal minimum. Consider not just how much space you need right now, but how much space you might need in the future.

I installed Mountain Lion on a 320 GB volume, which is about right for the type of work I do. 650 MB of free space for the Recovery HD partition. This is a hidden partition created by the Mountain Lion installer. It contains a bootable system with utilities for performing basic disk repair, as well as the ability to re-install the OS if necessary. A current backup.

Start Your Mac From the Bootable Mountain Lion Installer If you're going to install Mountain Lion on your Mac's startup drive, you must first restart your Mac from a bootable copy of the installer. If you haven't yet created a bootable copy of the installer, you'll find instructions in the Create Bootable Copies of the OS X Mountain Lion Installer guide.

You must start your Mac from the bootable media because you must erase the startup drive before you perform the installation. You can do this using Disk Utility, which is included with the installer. Insert the bootable media, or connect it to your Mac, and then restart your Mac while holding down the option key. This will cause your Mac to display its built-in startup manager, which will allow you to select the device you want to boot from. Use the arrow keys to select the bootable Mountain Lion installer you created earlier, then press the enter key to start the boot process. The Mac OS X Utilities window will display as if you had booted from the Recovery HD partition. Of course, there isn't a Recovery HD partition available yet, because we haven't installed the OS.

That's why we made our own bootable media. Select Disk Utility from the list of options, and click Continue. When Disk Utility opens, select your Mac's startup volume from the list of devices. If you never changed its name, the startup volume will be listed as Macintosh HD. Be sure to select the volume name and not the device name, which will usually be the name of the physical drive, for instance, '500 GB WDC WD5.' . Click the Erase tab.

The installer will check for any missing or new files it needs, download the files from Apple's servers, and then start the installation process. Click Continue. Read through the license, and click the Agree button. You'll need to click the Agree button a second time, just to make sure you really agree with the license and didn't accidentally click the Agree button the first time. The installer will display a list of drives that you can install Mountain Lion on.

Select the target drive (the startup drive you erased in the steps above), and click the Install button. The installer will check the Mac App Store for updates and any other files it needs. Enter your Apple ID and click Sign In. The installer will copy the necessary files to the target disk and then restart your Mac.
