The virtual machine may be upgraded to the latest macOS Big Sur (11) and macOS Monterey (12) versions through Software Update. Some CPU models released in 2020 and later may fail to start or complete the installer, and may require manually adjusting the CPUID settings. If the guest macOS boot process hangs on “LoadKernelFromStream”, “EndRandomSeed”, or "EXITBS", see the documentation command regarding VirtualBox CPU profiles and CPUID settings.
macOS guests on VirtualBox are generally incompatible with other CPU models. The script is designed for x86 CPU Mac hardware. Some features may behave unexpectedly, such as USB device support, audio support, FileVault boot password prompt support, and other features, including critical functionality. Further functioning order of VirtualBox or macOS is beyond the scope of this script. The scope of the script is completing a default macOS install process on VirtualBox on supported hardware. See the documentation command for further information. After the installation is complete, the storage size may be increased. The script by default assigns a target virtual disk storage size of 80GB, which is populated to about 25GB on the host on initial installation. These can be set in EFI and NVRAM by editing the script. ICloud, iMessage, and other connected Apple services require a valid device name and serial number, board ID and serial number, and other genuine (or genuine-like) Apple parameters. iCloud and iMessage connectivity and NVRAM The majority of the script is either documentation, comments, or actionable error messages, which should make the script straightforward to inspect and understand. Documentationĭocumentation can be viewed by executing the command. If you would like to become the maintainer of this repository, please see issue #645 - maintainer wanted.
MacOS Catalina (10.15), Mojave (10.14), and High Sierra (10.13) currently supported. Should work on most modern Linux distros. Works on macOS, CentOS 7, and Windows on x86 CPUs with VT-x or AMD-V. Macos-guest-virtualbox.sh is a Bash script that creates a macOS virtual machine guest on VirtualBox with unmodified macOS installation files downloaded directly from Apple servers.Ī default install only requires the user to sit patiently and, less than ten times, press enter when prompted by the script, without interacting with the virtual machine.
