macos-guest-virtualbox.sh is a Bash script for creating Catalina (10.15), Mojave (10.14), and High Sierra (10.13) guests on VirtualBox on Windows, Linux, and macOS hosts from scratch
The script creates a VirtualBox guest macOS virtual machine with unmodified macOS installation files downloaded directly from Apple servers. See the readme file for more information.
Known issues
- Guest macOS boot process hangs on “LoadKernelFromStream”, “EndRandomSeed”, or "EXITBS" - see documentation regarding VirtualBox CPU profiles and CPUID settings.
- Hosts with CPUs released in 2020 and later may require configuring the guest to "Mac OS X (64-bit)" instead of "macOS 10.13 High Sierra (64-bit)" for VirtualBox guest CPU compatibility.
- The script does not verify file integrity for the downloaded installation files.
- Big Sur 11.1 does not boot.
Dependencies
The following dependencies should be available through a package manager:
bash coreutils gzip unzip wget xxd dmg2img virtualbox
The following optional packages provide optical character recognition that reduces the required interaction with the script:
tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng

- VirtualBox ≥ 6.1.6, though versions as low as 5.2 may work.
