How to Download and Install macOS on VMware with VMWare Tools

Are you looking to install macOS on your VMware? This tutorial will guide you through the process of downloading and installing macOS on VMware, including setting up the virtual machine, installing the operating system, and configuring the tools.

To begin, download the VMware Tools ISO image file from the official VMware website. Once downloaded, open VMware Player and create a new virtual machine. Select 'I will install the OS later' and choose macOS 11.1 as your operating system. Name your virtual machine and allocate at least 100GB of space to store the installation.

Next, open the settings menu in VMware Player and select 'Virtual Machine Settings.' Log in to your account and click on the Apple icon at the top. If you have an Apple ID, you can set it up or choose to do so later. The installation process will take some time depending on your computer specifications (minimum 1 hour).

Once the installation is complete, setup your macOS virtual machine as you would any other Windows machine. Choose the partition you created earlier and continue with the installation.

To install VMware Tools, select 'CD/DVD' and use the ISO image file to mount the tools. Click 'Add' and select 'Hardware type' CD/DVD Type. Finish by clicking 'Ok.'

After installing VMware Tools, open the settings menu again and select 'Manage' > 'Virtual Machine Settings.' Log in to your account and click on the Apple icon at the top. Select 'About This Mac' and follow the prompts to set up your Apple ID or choose to do so later.

The installation of macOS will create a partition where the operating system will be installed. Select the VMware Virtual SATA Hard Drive Media option and click 'Erase.' Name your partition and format it in APFS format. Choose your language and continue with the installation.

Once the installation is complete, open Disk Utility and note down the following code:

`Code:`

```

...

```

Open Notepad and paste the code at the bottom of the file and save it.

To enable Mac OS on VMware Player, extract the unlocker-master.zip folder and run the win-install.cmd file as administrator. This will allow you to run macOS on your VMware virtual machine.

It's worth noting that VMware does not come with built-in support for macOS. You need to enable virtualization in your BIOS settings to use macOS on VMware.

By following these steps, you should be able to download and install macOS on VMware using VMware Tools. The process may take some time depending on your computer specifications, but the end result will be a fully functional macOS installation running on your VMware virtual machine.
