Choose the newly created ISO as your boot medium. Accept the defaults, with the exception of RAM

If you are a Standard user, first do a "su Administrator" before running the script.Ī) Create a new VM with the 10.13 template. You have to be an Administrator in order for the "sudo" to work, since Standard users cannot sudo. NOTE: The script will not work if you are a Standard user.

My changes/suggestions in Ī) Download "Install macOS High Sierra.app" from Apple. I've adjusted your instructions slightly to highlight the bits I got lost on. Open Disk Utilities means open Disk Utilities in the Guest VM That will you get to the EFI menu, shown worked!!! After multiple tries with different results I didn't recognize a key instruction. If you don't succeed, and you end up in the EFI shell, enter " exit".

You need to keep resetting the VM (HostKey+R) and press any key until you get into the EFI menu screen.

Once you find yourself up and running, right after the language selection step, shut down the VM and eject the 10.13 ISO that you booted from.

Apple (another wise move) has modified the way that it reads/treats the different partitions in the EFI, something that currently VirtualBox cannot handle (as of 5.2.2).

But, you won't re-boot into the OSX installation phase, you'll restart the whole installation again from scratch! Houston, we have a problem!!! If you're observant, you'll notice a quick message coming up, right before the VM boots again from the ISO to restart the whole installation process: That part is rather quick, lasting less than a couple of minutes on an SSD drive. This will start a phase where the actual installer is copied to the Recovery Partition of the hard disk that you selected. Now the hard disk shows properly when Disk Utility is opened. NOTE: This "glitch" has been fixed with 10.13.2. Leave the defaults (HFS+J/GUID), except maybe the name, choose anything you like. Select it and choose " Erase" from the toolbar. Now you'll see your " VBOX HARDDISK Medium". On the top-left side, click on the " View" drop-down and select " Show All Devices". For reasons that only Apple engineers understand, you will *not* see your hard drive! Instead you'll see a bunch of partitions that are of no interest to you whatsoever (see NOTE below).

After selecting the language, open " Disk Utility".

NOTE: Do NOT designate your virtual HD as an " SSD". Also make sure that USB3 controller is selected under the Ports » USB. Accept the defaults, with the exception of RAM (at least 3 GB), number of vCPUs (at least 2) and amount of HD (according to your needs, no less than 10 GB).

Create a new VM with the 10.13 template.
