macOS can be installed in several ways.

Storing data on a disk requires the disk to be formatted with a partition map.
A partition map allows macOS to manage information separately on each partition.
After a partition map is created, partitions are added to divide the disk into volumes. Each volume contains a file system.
  • Apple File System (APFS) is the default file system for Macs with solid state drives running macOS 10.13 High Sierra.
  • Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the default file system for Macs running 10.12 or earlier.
  • macOS is pre-installed on all Macs.
  • By default, four volumes occupy an APFS Container:
  • Macintosh HD: the system boot volume where macOS and user data is stored.
  • Preboot: a hidden volume containing data needed to boot each system volume.
  • Recovery: a hidden volume which includes utilities for troubleshooting and installing macOS.
  • VM: a virtual memory volume, created when macOS High Sierra starts up.
Disk Utility is an application for viewing and modifying partitions and volumes on connected hard drives.
Disk Utility is located in /Applications/Utilities. Disk Utility can create and remove partitions from disks or containers. Disk Utility can resize partitions without affecting existing data. By default, only volumes appear in macOS High Sierra. To view all devices, click View and select Show All Devices.

Mac apps can be found in the App Store or obtained from other sources.
The App Store contains apps vetted by Apple. An internet connection and Apple ID are required to purchase and download these apps Other sources may include downloading directly form a developer, a shared disk, or a physical disk. Apps obtained outside the App Store do not require an Apple ID
An Apple ID is the account used to manage and download the content purchased from the App Store, iTunes Store, or iBooks Store
Signing in with an Apple ID allows users to download previously-purchased content on their Mac.
To install an app from the Mac App Store
  • Open the App Store app.
  • Search for an app or browse by category.
  • If the app is free, click "Get", then click "Install". If the app requires payment, click the price, then click Buy.
    • If the word "Install" appears instead of "Get" or the app’s price, then the app has been previously purchased with the Apple ID currently signed in to in the Mac App Store.
  • If Launchpad is in the Dock, a progress indicator (a moving bar) shows the status of the download.
