However, diamonds cut diamonds, Im gonna guide you how to install macOS High Sierra on VirtualBox.

Yep, VirtualBox. That means you can have High Sierra on a virtual machine on any operating systems including Windows, Linux, and of course, macOS.

But if youre already on macOS, you may think of doing nothing at all, because why on Earth you want to experience macOS on a virtual Mac on a Mac.

The file itself is about 6.0GB so youll need a VIP account or Fcode and most importantly, patience.

The performance is a bit laggy, especially when you open Launchpad and even more laggy when you open a sub folder.

Its just good enough to compile Electron-based apps which the source code is developed in the host machine.

Experience with VirtualBox is a must so Im not gonna dig into much details about how to create a VM.

You can give it any name you like, Im gonna stick to High Sierra in this tutorial.

Once again, this tutorial works with VirtualBox across Windows, Linux and macOS, so you dont need a Mac although all the following screenshots are taken on macOS.

One more thing, I dont know why the installation process seems much slower on Windows.

It took me about 20 minutes on Ubuntu while it took me about 40 minutes on Windows with the exact same hardware.

You can throw some more if your system has more available RAM.

Finally, hit OK so we have nearly completed VM configurations.

The only thing to do next is open Command Prompt (with Admin privilege on Windows) and use the common cd to the VirtualBox installation path.

Yep, the VirtualBox program folder, not the VM one, the default one is C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox.

If youre on Linux, the excutable is already in your PATH so you wont need to cd at all in Terminal.

If youre on macOS, you may skip the step though you can give it a shot as much as you love doing so, or just quit the process because youre already on macOS.

Unlike other tutorials from the internet in which you just need to add an already-installed disk (VMDK) to the VM, were installing macOS High Sierra from the fresh scratch.

All right, lets fire up the virtual machine and give it a minute.

First of all, select English as the language, then select Disk Utility in the macOS Utilities window.

Then move the cursor down to the primary disk, select Erase and make sure your Format and Scheme look exactly like the image below while you can give it any name you love, like Hackintosh HD or something.
