Apple has always made it hard to install their operating system on non-Apple hardware, making it hard to take advantage of the benefits of this refined OS.

Youll also need an ISO image of the macOS version you want to install.

If you have access to a Mac, you wont be able to download a copy of the OS you already have installed.

If the Mac is running macOS Mojave, open the macOS High Sierra page in the App Store and download the installer from there.

A less complicated, but also less secure, option is to search for an ISO of your desired version of macOS online.

There are plenty of sites that have them, but downloading an ISO from an unofficial site does come with a level of risk.

The type and version should autofill with the correct settings.

Allocating more RAM will help to speed up your virtual machine, but make sure you leave enough for your host OS (whether thats Windows or Linux).

A dynamically allocated drive will start small and grow in size as more space is needed.

Select System from the side menu and make sure that Floppy is unticked in the Boot Order settings.

This will ensure that your virtual machine boots from your High Sierra disc image.

Make sure you set Base Memory to a suitable level 2048MB at a minimum.

Set the number of CPUs to at least two, and ensure Enable PAENX is enabled.

Click on the icon of an optical disk in the top-right corner of the screen, and select your High Sierra ISO file, ensuring Use Host IO cache is enabled.

Linux users will need to add sudo to the start of each VBoxManage command and replace the location on the first line with the location of VirtualBox, as installed on your Linux distribution.
