The easiest way to download and install the latest Apple OS X 10.9 Mavericks OS upgrade is to simply visit the Mac Appstore from your Mac and click upgrade, however if you want to perform a clean installation (format the old setup and install fresh) you will need to create a bootable removable disk drive as shown ahead.

We will be using a simple to use GUI application named DiskMaker X to build a bootable disk drive from Mac OS X installation application downloaded from Apple Macstore (or any other source). As soon as you launch DiskMaker X, the application automatically finds the OS X Install program and proposes to build a DVD or create a bootable install disk as instructed below.
