Unable to install Mojave #56

I have High Sierra, and the App Store won't let me download anything other than Mojave.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I manually edited the shell script to support Mojave (using the same settings as High Sierra), but I couldn't get the VM to boot. This worked for me: https://github.com/AlexanderWillner/runMacOSinVirtualBox

I managed to generate a Mojave ISO by replacing High Sierra with Mojave in the script too. And I booted the ISO successfully after I executed VBoxManage commands listed in this pull request: https://github.com/geerlingguy/macos-virtualbox-vm/pull/54 and then installed on local hard drive. I couldn't boot on the local APFS hard drive but I took the Clover ISO image generated from https://github.com/AlexanderWillner/runMacOSinVirtualBox. It worked after I updated clover to last version (v2.4k-4741 instead of v2.4k-4533), because it froze at boot, and change the screen resolution to 1024x768 in clover config.plist
