If you’ve got some specific setup oddities you can go down the other route, but we’ll need to make some post-wizard adjustments anyway. When the wizard starts, select (or keep on) Typical for Virtual Machine Configuration.
Start up VMWare Workstation or Player, and click on File > New Virtual Machine. Once done, restart your VMware Player/Workstation and the options should now appear in the VM creation wizard. This script will change the VMware configuration to un-hide the missing macOS options, then download the system files for macOS guests. Linux: sudo lnx-install.sh (you might need to chmod +x first). Open a command prompt or console to the directory you extracted it to, and run: Grab a copy of the unlocker.zip from the latest releases, and unzip it. Thanks to TheJaxon and paolo-projects, the open source community have a tool to unlock these features – aptly called macOS Unlocker. Boo!ĭon’t stop there though, as it’s still available – just hidden. As a result, this feature isn’t available on Windows or Linux. Unlocking macOS in VMware Windows & LinuxĪpple isn’t particularly happy about people trying to emulate macOS and OS X on non-Apple platforms against their EULA. Once you’ve got your Mojave.iso file, come back to this guide and we can proceed with infecting your VMWare with Apple. The way of extracting the install medium for Mojave has not changed, so if you want to grab the macOS ISO, follow the guided segment on the Virtualbox guide (Creating the ISO). Although if you’re on macOS already, you shouldn’t need to do any extra steps to get things working.
Should be easier if you’re running Intel.VMware Workstation 16.1 (Player should work too).In this project, I’m using the following: I have… As a result, you will need a donor Mac to get the installer image from.
In this project we won’t use anything custom, start from scratch with regular resources. If you Google this approach, you’ll find that there are pre-made ISO and vmdk floating around. While this doesn’t exactly perform miracles, you get a much more smoother experience once it’s installed. Not only does it work just as well as it does in Virtualbox, you can also install guest additions thanks to some super smart cookies in the scene. As soon as I got macOS working in Virtualbox, I almost immediately turned my attention to doing the same thing in VMware… Because I’m mad. Virtualbox is fantastic for Open Source software, but VMware is one of the primary players in the virtualisation scene. Does it work in VMware? Turns out, yes – works great, and has guest additions.
MacOS Mojave worked great(ish) in Virtualbox.
