$ ./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh

Push-button installer of macOS on VirtualBox

This script installs only open-source software and unmodified Apple binaries, and requires about 50GB of available storage, of which 25GB are for temporary installation files that may be deleted when the script is finished.

The script interacts with the virtual machine twice, please do not interact with the virtual machine manually before the script is finished.

Documentation about optional configuration, iCloud and iMessage connectivity, resuming the script by stages, and other topics can be viewed with the following command:

Partitioning the bootable installer virtual disk; loading base system onto the installer virtual disk; moving installation files to installer virtual disk; updating the InstallInfo.plist file; and rebooting the virtual machine.

The virtual machine may report that disk space is critically low; this is fine.

When the bootable installer virtual disk is finished being populated, the script will shut down the virtual machine. After shutdown, the initial base system will be detached from the VM and released from VirtualBox.

If the partitioning fails, exit the script by pressing CTRL-C

Otherwise, please wait. Waiting for the VirtualBox GUI to shut off. Please wait Catalina_BaseSystem.vdi successfully detached from the virtual machine and released from VirtualBox Manager.
