macOS-Simple-KVM

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

Getting Started

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 download installation media for macOS (internet required). The default installation uses High Sierra, but you can upgrade to Mojave later.

Step 2

Create an empty hard disk using qemu-img, changing the name and size to preference:

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 2a (Virtual Machine Manager)

If instead of QEMU, you'd like to import the setup into Virt-Manager for further configuration, just run make.sh --add.

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.
