Hackintosh Install


Once you make either

It is now time to instal macOS.

It is devided by several steps.

  1. Boot from Install meida. This pre-install macOS to your target drive. once finished, it will automatically reboot. It will take time depending on your media.
  2. You are supposed to boot from the target drive, pre-installed partition. Choose "macOS installer." It says it will take 29 minutes. But it acutally took 1(SSD)-3(SD) hours. 2 hours after it says it takes less than a minute.
  3. One more time. You are supposed to boot from the target drive, pre-installed partition. Choose "macOS installer." It will take another 5(SSD)-15(SD) mins.
  4. One last time. but this time the name has been changed to "macOS." It will end in 1-3mins.
  5. Now macOS boots up with the initial Setup.

onlinve vs offline:
if you install only one time, either way does not differ very much. But if you install more than once, offline must be choosen. Because online media downloads 12GB file every time you install. That overhaed will be omitted if you have downloaded the file once and made a offline install media.

Note: Be patient:
the remainig bar is not that much accurate. But I can say it is quite robust and the install is going on. My advice is to wait until it is finished.


This is from the first time I installed, when I did not have a macOS yet. Install media should be essentially an online one, which takes time.
