How to redownload macOS Sierra

[TeToslaw]

Hi everyone,
I want to redownload macOS Sierra for a clean reinstall. How to do this when installer isn't present in Purchases in App Store or in the /Applications/ folder of the Mac?

I own developer account and I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12 Beta 2.

Thanks for answers in advance

I had to download it from a third-party source, then I made a USB installer for backup.

Thx, but I don't wanna download the image from a third-party source. I'd rather wanna direct link from Apple site, but i cannot find this in developer forums

There is a bug preventing the install app from appearing in the App Store.
Solution is to get a new redemption code. This time, save the install app to another location first, so you can reuse it later on.

Yeah, make a bootable USB and then you'll have it if something goes wrong.

Apple seem to have fixed it. It has now reappeared in the purchases tab in the mac app store.

That's right. Noticed that already

Also it is – or was, for a while – not necessary to have Sierra apparent in the App Store. The downside of using Recovery OS (without the familiar interface to the Store) is that it's difficult to preserve a copy of what's served from Apple.
