Let's Create: A Mac OS Virtual Machine

In this video I show how to create a Mac OS Virtual Machine using a easily usable tool by foxlet that allows you to create a Mac OS virtual machine for QEMU with the KVM acceleration.
Github Link - github.com/fox...
Thanks For Watching!

[@matheusc929]

Man, what a coincidence. I was just here waiting for a macOS QEMU installation to finish and checking out your Windows 10 QEMU video, then I went to your channel and you had this macOS video as well. I just saw I did the procedure correctly. Nice video, QEMU is awesome!!

[@NOPerative]

ARM/RISC emulation with QEMU - DO IT!!!!! Best wishes to you in your academics.

[@nilsirl]

I don't know when this video was recorded but if you're not aware, Antergos has been discontinued since may 2019.

[@matthew1194668]

Hey you're back!

[@ersinozturk5720]

Hi. Thank you your video. But I get a Error at Ubuntu 16.4 ./basic.sh: line 10: qemu-system-x86_64: command not found Can you help me please?

[@jessecrockett]

Awesome!

[@bobbond4459]

I decided to give it a try but when I pasted the "sudo apt-get install qemu-system qemu-utils python3 python3-pip # for Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, and PopOS." into terminal and received "sudo: apt-get: command not found" message. What do I need to do now?

[@devmclovin]

You legend. This was so easy compared to other methods.

[@dhairya4170]

In my case, The installation ETA just jumps to something very large like 1hour 55minutes... Is that normal? I have an old laptop with AMD A-8 7410 (2 cores 4 threads) with integrated Radeon R5 graphics, 8gbs of DDR3 single channel ram, A regular ol 2.5 inch sata ssd and i'm running the VM on top of Pop!_OS.

[@bobbond4459]

Forgive my ignorance as I am a newbee at the virtual machine "stuff". I noticed that your background is from Catalina. Are you using an actual Mac computer in this tutorial or a PC computer with OS X installed? I'm asking since I am using a 27" iMac (2020) that came with Catalina (64 bit) pre-installed. I am trying trying to get Mojave (32 bit) installed on it somehow with either a virtual machine (VM) or as an extra partition. Is that what this tutorial is about? I have 32 bit software that I need to use and I already tried Parallels Desktop for Mac but it keeps on crashing the software. I also tried Virtual Box but the script hangs and does not get to the installation interface for macOS. I also tried installing Ubuntu but for some reason I was unsuccessful. I don't know much about Terminal but I can obviously follow instructions on what command lines to paste. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

[@nachiketbarve7260]

hello, i am getting below messages while running basic.sh. Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory can i run this on virtual machine (debian, ubuntu) or do i need physical system?

[@sn911111111]

It works fine for me. Problems I have had are bluetooth not working, airplay does not work, mouse is sluggish. any1 has a fix for that, Antoun?

[@jomarnavarro7]

I have done this exact thing on Mojave, and surprisingly was able to upgrade to Catalina! It works fine for small stuff Even for automation testing using xcuitest with Xcode. What bugs me though is that, like yourself, I can't get gpu passthrough to work (Intel HD graphics that come with lenovos). I'll see your channel to check whether You have something on the topic.

[@vipulsundriyal8996]

It's nice but the experience won't be smooth without GPU passthrough which in my opinion in present situation is somewhat complex. Nevertheless, the initiative surely deserves appreciation ..

[@SupaKoopaTroopa64]

He's back!

[@edocamoro]

and when you go to sleep and want to open this OS again the next day? and how do I add more ram? after having installed it as shown in the video.

[@RACAPE]

Run ./basic.sh again, of course. And select "Boot from x"(the last one). For the second question, just Google the question about qemu. If you are on Linux, don't expect to learn all the things from KZbin. Do your research. 👍 I did it for you, the answer for your question is here: wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Options Next time, don't be lazy. If he is not responding to you, you will not use your MacOS ever again?

[@iflnr978]

really cool video! I saw that you stated the KVM rebooted after you rebooted once, or whatever you wrote in graphic in the video, did you mean to write 'once'? is it persistent? I replayed the graphics; 'installation will continue after one boot' I guess the emphasis is on 'installation will continue after ...' so my question is, is this, the whole video tutorial, the process after every reboot or is the KVM persistent? this is so cool. yes, I would love GPU Pass-through even better, but this is better than GPU P-THu for my instance at the moment, thanks for this video!

[@codevemy2825]

The 15 minutes of loading actually became 6 hours and 15 minutes on my PC :(

[@ronaldo_endrisse]

Hello, it goes to the Shell command line after the download is finished and I don't know how I proceeded with the installation.

[@pikababe__]

Does this only work if I have linux already installed? I only have it in a virtual machine. I was thinking of having a linux vm and a mac vm on my Windows 10 PC. Not sure if that's possible though.

[@leow6102]

How do I start the machine again after shut down?

[@dallase1]

Do you have a video for Mavericks that shows how to install it with KVM acceleration? Mavericks was the last good MAC OS that still used the 3-D Eye Candy graphics. I hate how all PCs Operating systems today have boring flat graphics. Windows 7 was the last good looking Windows OS.

[@celtic426]

cool. I think the link in the description is slightly off

[@Xenotypic]

is there a way I can boot directly into this using ubuntu as a host?

[@muhammadwaqarsiddiqui6731]

How about fixing graphics ?

[@tirtha9]

can you do this on a redhat server on aws and do this via cockpit? we can increase ram vcpus as we like and test it...

[@a4e69636b]

Could you make a video showing what you can do with this VM? - KZbin video playback - Games

[@zamora322]

Great! I'll try it ;)

my terminal is showing-"Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied" can you help me??

[@Antisoleil]

Did you try with sudo ?

[@jamescj2066]

This command fixed that for me on Ubuntu sudo usermod -aG kvm $(whoami) && sudo reboot

[@JK-ug7rm]

How well does this work with Final Cu Pro?

[@jasonnemeck7351]

All this is fine. The PROBLEM I am having is with the NEXT things in the project, lots of things appear to have errors and are NOT well explained. Wish you'd gone on from here to explain HOW to do the rest of the setup.

[@Adityaarockss]

Hey this seems to be noob question but I am getting error as no jumpstart.sh file found in the second step

[@AntounSawires]

Hey, just to make sure are you in the directory of jumstart.sh. You will have cd into the folder from the github after you extract it from the .zip.

[@dhairya4170]

i'll try to keep this simple. What he missed is, You're supposed to download that github repo linked in the description. then extract it. and then you have to open a terminal window inside the folder you just extracted. and then follow the rest of the tutorial.

[@linux4868]

I develop in React Native.. is there a way to create an Apple Developer Account and bypass the need of a Mac PC using a VM like this??? I don't want to waste money on a expensive Mac just to upload a shitty app to Apple Store..

[@konona8982]

THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED Can't access ESP. I want to boot from pendrive... It kinda works, but probably error when trying to use it as xml virtual machine.

[@archavez100]

Wow! A video?

[@ronalddang7507]

Hi, I installed MacOS High Sierra, but its performance is still slow, similar to that of VirtualBox. I was wondering if this was because KVM was not enabled. If this is the problem, how can I enable it?

[@JahidulIslam]

You need to pass-through your GPU to VM for acceleration. You need AMD gpu for macos. Check these links passthroughpo.st/new-and-improved-mac-os-tutorial-part-1-the-basics/ passthroughpo.st/mac-os-vm-guide-part-2-gpu-passthrough-and-tweaks/

[@EllenaOliveira]

So I installed High Sierra, like in the video, but after installed I realised that XCode only install on 10.14 or later. Do I have to do it all over again for Mojave or is that a way to update the version?

[@user-hm2np8le9h]

Ellena Oliveira you have to start over, run the jumpstart script with Catalina and reinstall

[@cvirkin]

What about USB?

[@HelloThere-op1yk]

Hi! I love the version/distro of Linux you are using and was hoping you could tell me what it's called. I heard that it was based off Arch but didn't catch the name. Thanks!

[@AntounSawires]

The distro I use is Antergos which is based off Arch. The project is soon to be stopping development so another alternative is Manjaro.

[@HelloThere-op1yk]

Antoun Sawires Thanks for the help! I'm a long time windows user but am looking forward to trying out Linux.

[@arnimantritter]

How do i launch KVM after i installed it with sudo apt-get install qemu-system qemu-utils python3 python3-pip ??

[@omarrizo5816]

Hi, kvm is native to the kernel. You need to run qemu in the command line or download Virt-manager for a GUI interface.

[@sithumdasantha3147]

after run ./basic.sh This error showing "Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission deniedqemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied" Please help.

[@taurinonimeti6753]

Sudo ./basic.sh

[@AntounSawires]

Yes, most likely needs to be run with higher permissions try to use it with sudo before the command.

If you are on arch then there is a wiki page for installing unity. It requires installing a lot of ubuntu-patched packages plus no one is really interest in unity anymore

Doesn't using Chrome on Linux kind of destroy the privacy and security, one of Linux's biggest advantage? I don't want google *_anything_* running on my computer, except for KZbin...

[@iflnr978]

was this comment on this video about running MacOS in the linux kernel? similar to a VM, but way more efficiently than running a VM. so you could run Chrome in Linux too. As I understand it, the "VM" doesn't have access to your info on your computer or to the internet unless you directly type it in. if you connect Chrome to the internet, while it may not tell on you, algorithms associated with your other online activities might tell Google that it's really you. however, maybe you don't need to take Chrome online? maybe you could use a VPN, Wire Guard, or Slack's recently open sourced Nebula, if you do? still, I wouldn't bet that I was not being surveilled. if you need that, use cubes if on a desktop, otherwise use Tails and read the documentation as you go, good luck

[@akayysworld]

How can I change the resolution of the vm?

I watched this hoping you would explain the GPU pass through lol

[@Xenotypic]

also could use help with this, I have a card I can dedicate solely to the vm.

[@CreeBreej]

Are the USB ports supported ?

[@AntounSawires]

Yes, there is a way to get USB passthrough. If you take a look at the GitHub of Foxlet there is another repo explaining how to get passthrough. Especially if jailbreaking is the goal!
