macOS-Simple-KVM

Documentation to set up a simple Q35 VM based in QEMU, accelerated by KVM.

Better instructions will be available in the future, but for now, here's how to get started:

Dependencies

You need to have qemu, python and the KVM extensions installed for this project.

Step 1

Run jumpstart.sh to get some basic installation media for macOS.

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

Look at the docs folder for more information on adding passthrough hardware, set up tunnel networking, and enable sound features.
