Push-button installer of macOS on VirtualBox
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This script installs only open-source software and unmodified Apple binaries.
The script checks for dependencies and will prompt to install them if unmet.
For iCloud and iMessage connectivity, the script needs to be edited with genuine
or genuine-like Apple parameters. macOS will work without these parameters, but
Apple-connected apps will not.
The installation requires about '"${highlight_color}"'40GB'"${default_color}"' of available storage, 20GB for
temporary installation files and 20GB for the virtual machine'"'"'s dynamically
allocated storage disk image.

${highlight_color}NAME${default_color}
Push-button installer of macOS on VirtualBox
${highlight_color}DESCRIPTION${default_color}
The script downloads, configures, and installs macOS High Sierra, Mojave,
and Catalina on VirtualBox 5.2, 6.0, and 6.1. The script requires very little
user interaction. A default fresh install only requires the user to sit
patiently and, less than ten times, press enter when prompted.
${highlight_color}USAGE${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}${0} [STAGE]... ${default_color}
The script is divided into stages. Stage titles may be given as command-line
arguments for the script. When the script is run with no command-line
arguments, each of the available stages, except \"documentation\", is executed
in succession in the order listed:
${low_contrast_stages}
When \"documentation\" is the first command-line argument, only the
\"documentation\" stage is executed and all other arguments are ignored.
The four stages \"check_bash_version\", \"check_gnu_coreutils_prefix\",
\"set_variables\", and \"check_dependencies\" are always performed when any stage
title other than \"documentation\" is specified first, and if the checks pass
then the stages specified in the command-line arguments are performed.
${highlight_color}EXAMPLES${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}${0} configure_vm${default_color}
The above stage might be used after copying an existing VM VDI to a different
VirtualBox installation and having the script automatically configure the VM.
${low_contrast_color}${0} delete_temporary_files${default_color}
The above stage might be used when no more virtual machines need to be installed,
and the temporary files can be deleted.
${low_contrast_color}${0} "'\\'"${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}configure_vm create_nvram_files create_macos_installation_files_viso${default_color}
The above stages might be used to update the EFI and NVRAM variables required
for iCloud and iMessage connectivity and other Apple-connected apps.
${highlight_color}iCloud and iMessage connectivity${default_color}
iCloud, iMessage, and other connected Apple services require a valid device
name and serial number, board ID and serial number, and other genuine
(or genuine-like) Apple parameters. These parameters may be edited at the top
of the script, accompanied by an explanation. Editing them is not required when
installing or running macOS, only when connecting to the iCould app, iMessage,
and other apps that authenticate the device with Apple.
The variables needed to be assigned in the script are the following:
${low_contrast_color}DmiSystemFamily # Model name${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiSystemProduct # Model identifier${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiSystemSerial # System serial number${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiSystemUuid # Hardware UUID${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiOEMVBoxVer # Apple ROM info (major version)${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiOEMVBoxRev # Apple ROM info (revision)${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiBIOSVersion # Boot ROM version${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiBoardProduct # Main Logic Board identifier${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}DmiBoardSerial # Main Logic Board serial (EFI)${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}MLB # Main Logic Board serial (NVRAM)${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}ROM # ROM identifier (NVRAM)${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}SYSTEM_UUID # System identifier (NVRAM)${default_color}
The comments at the top of the script specify how to view these variables
on a genuine Mac.
${highlight_color}Applying the EFI and NVRAM parameters${default_color}
The EFI and NVRAM parameters may be set in the script before installation by
editing them at the top of the script, and applied after the last step of the
installation by resetting the virtual machine and booting into the
EFI Internal Shell. When resetting or powering up the VM, immediately press
Esc when the VirtualBox logo appears. This boots into the EFI Internal Shell or
the boot menu. If the boot menu appears, select \"Boot Manager\" and then
\"EFI Internal Shell\" and then allow the startup.nsh script to run
automatically, applying the EFI and NVRAM variables before booting macOS.
${highlight_color}Changing the EFI and NVRAM parameters after installation${default_color}
The variables mentioned above may be edited and applied to an existing macOS
virtual machine by executing the following command and copying the generated
files to the macOS EFI partition:
${low_contrast_color}${0} "'\\'"${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}configure_vm create_nvram_files create_macos_installation_files_viso${default_color}
After running the command, attach the resulting VISO file to the virtual
machine's storage through VirtualBox Manager or VBoxManage. Power up the VM
and boot macOS, then start Terminal and execute the following commands, making
sure to replace \"/Volumes/path/to/VISO/\" with the correct path:
${low_contrast_color}mkdir ESP${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}sudo su # this will prompt for a password${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}diskutil mount -mountPoint ESP disk0s1${default_color}
${low_contrast_color}cp /Volumes/path/to/VISO/ESP/* ESP/${default_color}
After copying the files, boot into the EFI Internal Shell as desribed in the
section \"Applying the EFI and NVRAM parameters\".
${highlight_color}Storage size${default_color}
The script by default assigns a target virtual disk storage size of 80GB, which
is populated to about 15GB on the host on initial installation. After the
installation is complete, the storage size may be increased. First increase the
virtual disk image size through VirtualBox Manager or VBoxManage, then in
Terminal in the virtual machine run ${low_contrast_color}sudo diskutil repairDisk disk0${default_color}, and then
${low_contrast_color}sudo diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk1 0${default_color} or from Disk Utility, after
repairing the disk from Terminal, delete the \"Free space\" partition so it allows
the system APFS container to take up the available space.
${highlight_color}Graphics controller${default_color}
Selecting the VBoxSVGA controller instead of VBoxVGA for the graphics controller may considerably increase graphics performance.
${highlight_color}Performance and unsupported features${default_color}
Developing and maintaining VirtualBox or macOS features is beyond the scope of
this script. Some features may behave unexpectedly, such as USB device support,
audio support, and other features.
After successfully creating a working macOS virtual machine, consider importing
it into QEMU/KVM so it can run with hardware passthrough at near-native
performance. QEMU/KVM requires additional configuration that is beyond the
scope of the script.
