README.md

macOS-Simple-KVM

Documentation to set up a simple macOS VM in QEMU, accelerated by KVM.

Here's how to get started:

Dependencies

You'll need a Linux system with qemu, python and the KVM extensions installed for this project. A Mac is not required.

Step 1

Run jumpstart.sh to fetch installation media for macOS (internet required). The default installation uses High Sierra.

Step 2

Create an empty hard disk using qemu-img

qemu-img create -f qcow2 MyDisk.qcow2 64G

and add it to the end of basic.sh

    -drive id=SystemDisk,if=none,file=MyDisk.qcow2 \
    -device ide-hd,bus=sata.4,drive=SystemDisk \

Then run basic.sh to start the machine and install macOS.

Step 3

You're done!

Look in the docs folder for more information on adding passthrough hardware (for GPU graphics), set up bridged networking, and enabling sound features.
