Getting Started

  1. Follow the OpenCore Installer Guide to create the installation media.
  2. Clone this repository, and copy the EFI directory and its contents to your installation media.
  3. Create a folder at the root of the installation media called com.apple.recovery.boot. Use the macrecovery tool specified in the OpenCore Installer Guide to download the Big Sur base system image.
  4. Copy both the .dmg and .chunklist files to the com.apple.recovery.boot folder created in step 3.
  5. Eject the installation media from your computer and plug it into your Hackintosh build.
  6. When the OpenCore UEFI shows up, select <Your Installation Media Name> (External). This will launch the base system installation. WIP
