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

Here's how to get started:

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

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

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.

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.
