The script requires very little user interaction. A default install only requires the user to sit patiently and, less than ten times, press enter when prompted. The script doesn't install any closed-source additions or extra bootloaders. Tested on Cygwin. Works on macOS and WSL, should work on most Linux distros.
### macOS Mojave (10.14) and High Sierra (10.13) currently supported
#### macOS Catalina 10.15.2 and 10.15.3 fail to boot on VirtualBox
Versions 10.15.0 and 10.15.1 of Catalina work, but they are not currently being distributed by Apple's software update servers, from which the script fetches the installer. A workaround for Catalina 10.15.2 and 10.15.3 is [available](https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-guest-virtualbox/issues/134#issuecomment-583216307) involving using earlier versions of `boot.efi`. The issue [will be fixed in the next maintenance release of VirtualBox.](https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19188#comment:8)
### macOS Mojave (10.14), High Sierra (10.13), and Catalins (10.15) currently supported
macOS Catalina 10.15.2 and 10.15.3 require VirtualBox 6.1.4 or higher. A workaround for lower versions of VirtualBox involves using earlier versions of `boot.efi` as [described here](https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-guest-virtualbox/issues/134#issuecomment-583216307).
