Most of you probably know that you can only run macOS on hardware that Apple sells, at least if you're not willing to go the hackintosh route, which can be painful and complex. Still, some of us might want, or need to test stuff out on Apple's operating system, fortunately, there is now a simple solution to do just that, with just one command line.

Link to SOSUMI: snapcraft.io/i...
How to install snap: snapcraft.io/d...
Mac OS Simple KVM: github.com/fox...
Sosumi is a SNAP package that lets you install a Qemu virtual machine running Mac OS Catalina. It's nothing you couldn't do on your own with a bit more time, but this snap package has the advantage of being just one command line away, and taking care of all the setup for you.
Now be warned that Apple's End User Licence Agreement doesn't allow to run Mac OS in a VM on hardware that isn't made by Apple, so do this at your own risk!
As always with virtual machines, you need to ensure that your CPU supports virtualization in the BIOS.
Once you're all set, you just open a terminal window, and run this command:
sudo snap install sosumi
Let the installation run its course, and you should get a menu entry called, you guessed it, SOSUMI.
Run that to initialize the VM. You should get a terminal window which shows you the download progress for the system image that will let you install macOS.
Click inside the window to focus is, and then press enter to start the installer.
After a while, you should end up in the installer window for Mac OS.
To begin with, you'll have to format the virtual disk that the VM has created for you. Double click on "disk utility", and select the disk called "Apple Inc. VirtIO Block media", with a size of 68Gb.
Then, click on "Erase", and select the format you'd prefer using, I used APFS, as that's the most recent Apple Filesystem, but it will work fine if you use Mac OS Extended.
Click the "Erase" button.
The operation should be pretty fast, and you can then close the disk utility window, and start the installer by double clicking on "Reinstall macOS".
Once the installation is complete, your VM will reboot and let you complete the first-run setup. You'll end up in Clover again.
One last reboot, and you'll be able to select the "Boot mac OS frm Mac HD" option in Clover, the last option on the right.
Once the boot process is complete, you'll have to sift through a few settings screen, and log in using an Apple ID, or create one if you don't already have one.
Close the VM by shutting it down, and open your file manager. Snaps create a folder in your /home directory, to store everything, so head over there, and go to Sosumi, then Common.
Here, you'll find a file called "launch".
First, make a copy, in case something goes wrong, so you can restore the previous version, open the file with your text editor of choice.
In this file, you'll see all the parameters for the Qemu virtual machine.
-m defines the memory usage of the VM, in gigabytes. By default, it's 2, but as I have 32Gb on my device, I'll put 16 in there.
Now, for the window resolution, it's a bit more involved.
Type diskutil list
Grab the identifier for the disk that reads EFI, it should be the same as mine, disk2s1.
Then type
sudo diskutil mount disk2s1
or replace disk2s1 by the correct identifier for your EFI disk.
Now open the Finder, and go to the EFI disk in the sidebar. Open the CLOVER folder, and ediut the config.plist file, using textedit.
Here, you'll find a line that reads screenresolution. Change the default of 1280x720 by what you want to use, in my case, 1920x1080. Save the file.
Now, shut down the VM, and restart it.
Right when you see the terminal window open, hit "escape". You'll see an interface that looks like a BIOS. Select device manager, OVMF Platform Configuration and then "change preferred".
Press the F10 key to save, and then escape until you get back to the main menu, where you'll then select "Continue".
You can also change the CPU core count affected to the VM. By default, you'll get 4 threads for 2 cores, listed in the line "-smp 4,cores=2".
You can change that by putting another number.
I love the name of the tool - shows clear intention.
Absolutely hahaha
I'm not sure I get it

@@antoninjacob2232 So Sue Me
@@Lestibournes oh yeah well haha
The fact that the generated subtitles read "so sue me" when you say Sosumi is pretty on the nose :)
Fun fact: "sosumi" is deliberately supposed to sound like "so sue me": it comes from the classic Mac OS alert sound and was named that because Apple Inc (the computer company) had been involved in long-running lawsuits with Apple Corps (The Beatles' record label) who alleged that Apple Inc were infringing on Apple Corps' name ever since the Apple IIGS was released because it contained a sound synth chip that could be used to create music. Supposedly, Apple Inc's lawyers said that the sounds introduced with Mac OS 7, created by Jim Reekes, had names that could be considered "too musical" and would therefore attract legal attention from Apple Corps, so Jim Reekes joked that the sound we now know as "Sosumi" should be called "Let it Beep", a pun on The Beatles' song "Let it Be", then remarked "so sue me" when told that the name could not be used. He ended up submitting the sound again under the name "Sosumi", lying to Apple's legal team that it was a Japanese word.
I came here so say this as well. I support this.

Thank you from a coffee fan.
You’re welcome :)
I have my iMac set up for actual triple boot. It’s no harder to accomplish than dual boot.
@J T
It's a pain to manipulate because windows cannot be trusted with the EFI system partition.
@@hughlion1817 a pain to manipulate what? The boot loaders? Of course if you mess around with things like that, you’re going to have problems at some point. But if you just put Windows in its own drive, split the other drive between Linux and macOS, and leave the boot loaders alone after you get it all set up, you’ll have a reliable triple boot setup. I’ve had it that way for three years with no problems.
@@jscorpio1987 I have an mbp A1398, an external drive is a cop out. I've had a multi-boot setup ever since i got it in 2015 so im not implying its more trouble than its worth but more importantly im saying its trouble because windows. things like reinstalling windows within my existing triple boot because windows will clobber the EFI in various ways, OSX plays nice whenever ive performed reinstalls. at least el capitan does, i dont update further as the system has proven less reliable. though dont often boot osx or windows, still very much useful to have around for the proprietary content creation apps.
simplest thing ive found is to backup the efi, let windows fuck everything up and then un-fuck it up afterwards.
Really easy to follow tutorial and the easiest to do. I installed this on Pop_OS! 21.10 on a Minisforum Ryzen 7 2700 with AMD Vega 3 graphics with 16GB and SSD storage. I set the RAM to 8GB. It runs great.
does it lag as it will do on a virtual machine running on a windows
I just installed it on UwUntu 22.10 LTS because I can
Little note that I would like to add to this: SomeOrdinaryGamers has a really good guide (with a little bit of sour humor) on how to install macOS through the original project and explains how to add HW acceleration.

Super intro 😄
Thanks :D
@The Linux Experiment I am sorry, but at first glance, it seems pretty useless. Firstly illegal... then all problems having to deal with an illegal usage, you could be tracked by Apple, then having your licence banned/canceled, being sued, etc. And as not all software will be functional, and as it is not a native Mac, you cannot use it seriously as a development machine. And as you need to own a valid OSX licence, which means you have the Mac that comes with it, I don't see the point of it. But I consider I might have missed the useful points of such a configuration. I might be wrong, so please explain what usage/advantages this configuration could have.
And you have a super relevant name for this video :)

The Apple EULA will allow you to run MacOS in a VM, but only if it is on Apple hardware. So it is perfectly legal to build a Mac VM in VMWare Fusion running on a Mac.
I swear you can't possibly imagine how much trouble I went through just to get mac os working for me either on boot or as virtual machine 😭, I am so happy and pissed off because it was that simple 😮💨.
I finally managed to have running mac os on VM but it was so bad I scrapped the project and just themed my KDE distro to look far better and then I had app problems and deleted my entire hardisk and installed windows AME again and installed 2-3 apps and now I just use pc for that 🥲. Man I realised how much I hate stuff and I care about theming a lot, I guess I'll start working there.
Anyways... I am glad you uploaded this video :') I am never working hard for macOS again 🥲.
I really like windows ame. I know your comment is quite old but do you have an issue with windows ame making you put your password in whenever you open any program? Thanks!
Really clear. I went the Hakentosh route several yeas ago and it worked very reliably - never failed in fact - but became pretty antiquated after about 5 years even though the i7 Haswell, 32 gigs ram, and a decent graphics card never became a problem for video editing. So this easy VM approach interested me, but no graphics card in the VM is the deal breaker. So it's an M1 Mini for me. But yeah, nice way to have a Mac for ordinary work. I find it handy to have a minimal Win 10 machine around too for the odd task like running my 3D printer.
You can just use a type 1 hypervisor like proxmox if you wanted to use GPU. A bit of a set up, but one helluva toy that can run just about anything once done.
Exactly imagine wanting to use macOS without any noticeable graphics capabilities that’s why macOS and a VM is just never gonna really work
@@macintush To be fair, the graphical capabilities of Mac has always been it's downfall, lack of support for the latest and fastest GPUs, outdated drivers and subpar performance. It's the general user interface and accessibility of MacOS that have kept it a popular alternative to windows all these years.
@@macintush a vm is never gonna really work.. pfff 😂 ok bud. Yeah, Apple is magic 🤣
@@macintush As a VMware engineer, I beg to differ! We offer MacOS VM solutions to our clients/customers and its very specific and is meant for ESXi only. Apple has a lot of support for ESXi as it is enterprise grade but not if you are using Player or Workstation!
september 26 2023, this method is still working, was able to run it on Ubuntu (20.04.6), Lenovo Thinkpad e560. it took a while, also as people mentioned earlier, sometimes vm_swap_create_file error appears, but it disappeared after reloading the vm, and I was able to run chrome for my purposes. also after first lunch keyboard and mouse did not responded, but worked fine after the reboot. Big thanks to the author, clear explanation
I knew there was a reason I put 64GB of ram and a 16 thread processor in my laptop. LET'S GOOOOO. Haha. Time to have 3 virtual Desktops on PoP_OS so I can be running Linux, Windows 10, and Mac OS at the same time, giving each of my VM's 4 processor cores and 16GB of ram, while giving my host OS 8 cores and 32GB of ram. God I love high powered linux hardware and the linux community.
As a Linux Mint user who hates snap, thankyou for the disclaimer. And thanks for the referencing macos simple kvm. I think I'll go that route.

This looks like a brilliant tool to have for sysadmins maintaining Apple devices. When iPhones/iPads crash and need to be reset, or if they need enrolling into an MDM, a program called Apple Configurator 2 needs to be used. It's free, but as you've probably already guessed, it only runs on macOS. With USB passthrough to make devices appear in the VM, I would be able to have this very important utility with me without lugging an expensive Macbook around just for this one purpose.
When in your BIOS, it said that your RAM is running at a frequency of 2411.61Mhz. Are you sure this is the highest the RAM in your system is capable of? Because if not you may be able to enable xmp in the Bios and get a little extra performance out of your RAM.
Hi I am stuck at the Terms and Conditions page. Have opened and scrolled down both terms A and B but Agree button stays light gray and nothing happens if I click it. What am I doing wrong?
Same here
Would be GREAT to have a guide showing how to do a GPU passthrough using the iGPU, thus leaving the main GPU free for the host OS and giving MacOS full graphical acceleration on another monitor. I'll buy you a tea if you can help. :-)
I highly suggest a self lookup. If you like techy stuff in general the knowledge you gain by looking things up yourself there becomes pretty invaluable and you'll probably even end up customizing things you didn't even think or know about if you had not took the time to do look up.

This still works fine on 22.04, even though I read that the project has been abandoned. This is by far the easiest way to install MacOS. The only catch is that your drive needs to be large enough to create the virtual image. Apparently, snaps has a bug that prevents it from fully accessing symlinks; i.e., creating a symlink into another, larger drive will not work.
What, really abandoned?
@@linux2650yes. I don't remember exactly where I read it, but you can see the GitHub repo changed to read-only in 2021.

edit: somehow i mannage to fix it, i just launch it from the second option when i do the first instalation
Hello, I have encountered "failed to create swap file 2: 20s" error. What might be the cause of this?
Nice video…if you install Catalina on this virtual machine, can you then run the “MacOS update” to update your Catalina to BigSur or Monterey? Thank you!
I am positively surprised how well that worked! Thank you very much for that tutorial!
I have only one Question: is it possible to put the VM in Fullscreen?
CTRL + ALT + F
The beer at 6:35 is a Grimbergen Blonde, 6.7% ABV. From their website: A smooth, blonde ale with ripe yellow fruit flavours, a spicy note of clove and a dense, cream-coloured foam.
It’s kinda the baseline of what I can drink. Anything below that just tastes bad to me :)
Can you also update to Big Sur?
I got this video recommended right as I just started creating a Mac OS vm
Nice timing!
I prefer OSX-KVM, and have a nice Big Sur installation. However this could be great for anyone looking for an easier method.
your intro made me chuckle immediately
That was really sick, not gonna lie
Good vid! Thanks!
Thanks for watching :)
Download clover configurator and change your smbios and graphics properties to get hardware acceleration...
Really? Even with nVidia graphics cards??…
Fantastic intro man! Well done
Thanks!
Excellent video!
hear me out
A stripped out alpine installation with the minimum for things to work + sosumi and xorg on it
enforce sosumi and its qemu window to take the entire screen, change settings to take all the hardware except the minimum to keep alpine running in the background without any struggle.
There we go, now we have another way to make a hackintosh level proxmox.
Useful Video Thanks ❤
