FAQs

It won't boot. What's the problem?

If your host machine is not macOS, then it's very likely this won't run. Attempting to run macOS on non-certified Apple hardware is a violation of their EULA. I'm not able to help, if this is the case, so please do not open an issue.

How do I get started?

You can quickly start using vagrant init [box name]. For example:

vagrant init ramsey/macos-catalina

How do I SSH to the VM?

Use the vagrant ssh command.

How can I launch the GUI to click around in the macOS VM?

Add the following to your Vagrantfile:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
  vb.gui = true
end

If you've already started the VM, reload the configuration with vagrant reload. VirtualBox will now launch the GUI, where you may log in and click around.
