Most of the work has been done by the amazing people who have created and keep this repository up-to-date. Check out the OSX-KVM repoīoth literally and figuratively.
#HOW TO CREATE A MAC OS X VM INSTALL#
sudo apt install build-essential cmake clang libfuse-dev libbz2-dev libudev-dev libxml2-dev linux-headers-generic pkg-config zlib1g-dev libicu-dev openssl Other utilitiesĪlso be sure to install these tools if you don't have them already: sudo apt install dmg2img p7zip What's happening: We'll need dmg2img to convert an image file, and while 7zip is optional, it's a great compression and decompression tool that I highly recommend you keep around as it's super convenient. Please let me know if I did actually miss anything here. If one of the build steps later on this guide fails, it'll tell you what's missing so you can install it at that point. To be honest I already had most of these installed, so I am probably going to miss one or two in this list. We'll be building a few tools from source, so we'll need build tools installed for that. In my case I already had Python installed but I needed to install an extra package called python-is-python2 to get certain tools to work, but you might also want to make sure python2 is actually installed. We'll be using a few tools to fetch and extract the installer files needed right from your host machine. You do not need a physical Mac to download anything necessary to create this VM. As mentioned before, I'm focussing this guide on running Ubuntu 20.04 as the host OS. In this guide I'll assume you have already set up your host machine, including having set up QEMU, virt-manager, etc.
Please check the relevant repositories for up-to-date information on this. The fetch-macOS script might need updating for future beta releases and the eventual full release. As of this writing, Big Sur 11.0.1 Release Candidate 2 (Beta 3) was the recent-most beta release. In this article I'll focus on steps and commands that are tailored towards Ubuntu 20.04, but I'm sure you'll be able to tweak things a bit to tailor towards whatever flavor you're running to get things to work similarly.
#HOW TO CREATE A MAC OS X VM HOW TO#
Today I'd like to walk you through how to get Big Sur installed and up and running in a virtual machine on your Ubuntu or similar host machine.
