License violations[edit]

According to the macOS and OS X software license agreement[1], macOS should only be installed on Apple Mac devices. Neither the editors of this book nor Wikibooks have any liability over the installation of macOS or OS X guests on VirtualBox or any other violations of the software license.

This is against the EULA of apple, doing this article IS considered piracy.

Installation script[edit]

The following installation script:

  • ..is free and open-source
  • ..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.
