This script installs only open-source software and unmodified Apple binaries, and requires about 50GB of available storage, of which 25GB are for temporary installation files that may be deleted when the script is finished.
The script interacts with the virtual machine twice, please donot interact with the virtual machine manually before the script is finished.
Documentation about optional configuration, iCloud and iMessage connectivity, resuming the script by stages, and other topics can be viewed with the following command:

Starting virtual machine "macOS". This should take a couple of minutes. If booting fails, exit the script by pressing CTRL-C then see the documentation for information about applying different CPU profiles in the section CPU profiles and CPUID settings.
Until the script completes, please donot manually interact with the virtual machine.

This should take a couple of minutes. If booting fails, exit the script by pressing CTRL-C then see the documentation for information about applying different CPU profiles in the section CPU profiles and CPUID settings.
macOS does not supprort every CPU supported by VirtualBox. If the macOS Base System does not boot, try applying different CPU profiles tothe virtual machine withthe VBoxManage commands described below. First, whilethe VM is powered off, setthe guest's CPU profile to the host's CPU profile, then tryto boot the virtual machine: VBoxManage modifyvm "${vm_name}"--cpu-profile host VBoxManage modifyvm "${vm_name}"--cpuidremoveall If booting fails, try assigning eachofthe preconfigured CPU profiles while the VM is powered off withthe following command: VBoxManage modifyvm "${vm_name}"--cpu-profile "${cpu_profile}" Available CPU profiles: "Intel Xeon X5482 3.20GHz""Intel Core i7-2635QM""Intel Core i7-3960X" "Intel Core i5-3570""Intel Core i7-5600U""Intel Core i7-6700K"
