Jan 31, 2020 This wikiHow teaches you how to install and use the VirtualBox application on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. VirtualBox is a program which emulates a second computer, allowing you to install and use operating systems (e.g., Windows 7) on VirtualBox without having to change your computer's actual operating system.

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.

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.

These are self-extracting archives used for additional apps to the primary installations in your Applications folder. In other words,.PKG files come to the rescue if you need to apply additional files and settings to the system. Find all dmg files on mac After installation, you have to delete.PKG files, but you will definitely not do it, thus clogging you hard drive over time.Of course, if you`re used to saving all your files in the same place, then finding and removing them will be easy. Mind that this action is prohibited by App Store rules. In most cases,.PKG files are used for drivers.
