The latter is slightly better for performance. Dynamic will not immediately take up the storage size you chose, whereas Static immediately reserves the chosen size for the VM. When creating the disk, you can use either format versions. Set the RAM to 4096 MB (or higher if you can achieve it!).

Name this MacOS Mojave, and set it to Mac OS X (64-bit). Pop open Virtualbox, and Create a new Virtual Machine. Virtualbox has the option for a MacOS virtual machine in it’s New VM dialog, but we will need to make further adjustments to make it truly Mac-ready.

This comes with a special USB 3 driver that without, the Mac simply won’t see USB devices.

Setting up Virtualboxīefore continuing, install the Virtualbox Extension Pack, if you haven’t already. The Mac is no longer needed at this point. Congratulations, you have your installation disc! Copy this over to where your Virtualbox is setup. You should now have a file on the Mac desktop called ‘Mojave.iso’. Hdiutil convert /tmp/ -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/Mojave.iso Now for the final process, let’s convert our CDR image to an ISO! To check, run ls /Volumes and see if it’s there, renamed). Hdiutil detach /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System This will rename the disc image, so don’t panic that ‘installer_goes_here’ has vanished. We’re now grabbing the installation DMG from within the updater package, and storing it within the disc image. Now MacOS can ‘see’ your disc as an actual disc, ready for writing to!Īsr restore -source /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/BaseSystem.dmg -target /Volumes/installer_goes_here -noprompt -noverify -erase Hdiutil attach /tmp/ -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/installer_goes_here This is what we’ll stuff the Mojave installation stuff into.
This will create a virtual ‘disc’ stored in your temporary directory. Hdiutil create -o /tmp/Mojave.cdr -size 8000m -layout SPUD -fs JHFS+ Once the package has been downloaded, pop open Terminal (Utilities folder in Launcher), and run the following commands: If your MacOS installer has expired, you can continue with this guide. This process is not affected by MacOS Installer expiry.

Don’t worry about actually running this application, as we’re going to use some terminal magic to build the ISO from the package. On the MacOS machine, download the Mojave installer.
Virtualbox installs generally prefer to use an ISO file, which unfortunately will require some handiwork to get a hold of. This also includes Windows Subsystem for Linux, which tripped me up from installing. I use Linux in my screenshots as I use Docker on Windows. MacOS is also not installable on Hyper-V. This guide will discuss installing MacOS Mojave, however installation process should be similar for all MacOS versions.Īt the time of writing, Virtualbox and Hyper-V cannot co-exist on Windows. 40GB of free disk space (more preferred).At least 4GB of RAM (8GB or more recommended).MacOS Mojave installer from the Mac App Store.You will not need access to it permanently, but just during the process of creating an ISO for your VM to setup with. You need a donor Mac to start this process. VMware more your jam? We’ve got this working in there too. You will not get community support from Virtualbox if you have trouble with this process, as it’s against Apple ToS. The macOS Virtualbox option is designed for genuine Apple hardware. While it’s not exactly daily-driver level, the performance in Virtualbox wasn’t too bad! OS X has always been runnable in Virtualbox for a while, but the performance has normally been lacklustre. I had no expectations that this was going to work. So what if you want to sandbox something? Virtualbox! That’s well and great, but I didn’t want to screw around with my partner’s Macbook. In the pursuit of Hackintosh, you need a Mac.
