How to install macOS 12.1 with an IPSW file

Put the Mac you want to restore into DFU mode, connect it to a second Mac with a USB C cable, open Apple Configurator, then drag the downloaded IPSW file onto the device icon. The Mac will be erased and macOS 12.1 installed.

Only files marked as Signed can be installed today. See every other build on the macOS IPSW page.
