- ..requires only VirtualBox with its Extension Pack and dependencies that can be easily installed in a single command with most open-source package managers
- ..downloads macOS Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra directly from Apple's servers
- ..installs macOS without modifying the original Apple binaries and without third-party bootloaders
- ..creates a VM that is compatible with OpenCore and can be exported (with manual modifications) to KVM/QEMU for near-native performance
- ..runs on Linux, Windows (WSL, Cygwin), and macOS
Manual installation[edit]
The manual installation requires access to the Mac App Store through an existing installation of macOS.
Create ISO Installation Media[edit]
- Download the macOS Installer file from the App Store[2] (OS X El Capitan and Sierra is downloadable from Apple's website).
- When download finishes, find the app, right-click and select 'Show Package Contents'.
- Inside the sub-folder Contents/SharedSupport you will find a InstallESD.dmg file.
- Open 'Disk Utility'
- Choose Images > Convert
- In the window, choose the InstallESD.dmg to convert and the disk type to be 'DVD/CD-R master for export'. Also choose the name for installer disk and the final destination. Then click 'Convert'.
- After conversion completes, you will see a .cdr file in your destination folder.
- Open 'Terminal'
- Enter
hdiutil convert /Your/Path/To/YourCdrFile.cdr -format UDTO -o /Your/Path/To/macOSInstaller.iso - Check destination folder. This is your file for installation in VirtualBox. There should be a .iso file extension.
