Now open Virtualbox and create a new virtual machine with the “Type” set to “Mac OS X”, the version set to whichever version of MacOS you are going to use and however much RAM you want to allocate. Once you have downloaded the virtual disk, extract it to whichever directory you would like it to be located: Any other version of MacOS can be used, however the performance will be worse. For this tutorial we will be using MacOS Yosemite 10.10, as it is the latest version where Beam Sync can be disabled to make performance somewhat ok. The first thing to do is obtain a MacOS virtual disk. This tutorial assumes you have Virtualbox installed and virtualisation enabled in your computer’s BIOS. If this is what you’re looking for read on. However, having a MacOS VM can be useful for things like troubleshooting issues or testing stuff out. So if you need to use MacOS to actually do work this is not the path for you - build a Hackintosh or buy a Mac. This means performance will basically be garbage. Therefore there are problems when trying to virtualise MacOS, the most compromising of which being hardware acceleration for graphics will not work in a MacOS VM (unless you’re going to build a Hackintosh with very specific parts, but that defeats the purpose of building a VM). But first, it’s important to understand this: MacOS is not designed to be virtualised, because Apple does not want it running on anything other than Apple hardware. In this article we will go through setting up a Virtualbox VM from scratch running MacOS.
