After releasing Public Betas of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, tvOS 15 and watchOS 8 yesterday for public beta testers, macOS Monterey Public Beta is now available as well.

Here’s how to install macOS Monterey Public Beta, which Apple says should be done on a secondary machine, since it is early release software.

Step 1: Back up your Mac using Time Machine.

Step 2: Download the macOS Public Beta Access Utility (if you are a new user) installer.
