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.

- Doesn't require a ready-made bootable installation ISO
- Downloads macOS Catalina, Mojave, and High Sierra directly from the Apple Store servers
- Runs on Linux and Windows (WSL, Cygwin)
- Uses only open-source software, no custom bootloader, and original Apple files directly from Apple
- Has easily-installed dependencies: VirtualBox>6.0 with Extension Pack, bash>4, coreutils, unzip, wget, dmg2img
Manual installation[edit]
The manual installation requires access to the Mac App Store through an existing installation of macOS.
Create ISO Installation Media[edit]
- Download the macOS Installer file from the App Store[2].

- Choose Images > Convert
- In the window, choose the InstallESD.dmg to convert and the disk type to be 'DVD/CD-R master for export'. Also choose the name for installer disk and the final destination. Then click 'Convert'.
- After conversion completes, you will see a .cdr file in your destination folder.
- Open 'Terminal'
- Enter
hdiutil convert /Your/Path/To/YourCdrFile.cdr -format UDTO -o /Your/Path/To/macOSInstaller.iso
