You can install Mac OS X, OS X, or macOS in a virtual machine. Fusion creates the virtual machine, opens the operating system installation assistant, and installs VMware Tools. VMware Tools loads the drivers required to optimize a virtual machine's performance.
Mac OS X, OS X, or macOS virtual machines that you create in Fusion can run on any Apple-branded hardware that uses Intel processors. The Apple licensing agreement defines the situations when it is permissible to virtualize Mac OS X, OS X, or macOS. Fusion does not change these terms or enable macOS on non-Apple hardware. You cannot use a Mac OS X, OS X, or macOS virtual machine in another VMware product, such as Workstation Pro.
Hi Forum, I created a new Fusion VM to run Mac OSX Sierra 10.12. So far so good. However when looking at the Display Settings, I've enabled. Jan 23, 2018 - No 3D support is available from the host. This just tells VmWare Player not to be too picky on the hardware drivers (apparently the driver on.
Fusion supports the following Mac server and client versions for the guest operating system:
- Mac OS X Server 10.5, 10.6
- Mac OS X 10.7
- OS X 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11
- macOS 10.12, 10.13
Fusion does not support the following features for Mac OS X virtual machines:
- Multiple displays
- 3D Accelerated graphics
- Unity view

To install the operating system, use the procedure for creating a virtual machine for any supported operating system. See Create a Virtual Machine for Any Supported Operating System.
Install Mac OSX Yomesite on vmware workstation

Host OS: Debian 7
Working guest OS: Mac OSX 10.9
Software: Vmware wks 10.0.4
Guest OS To install: Mac OSX 10.10
Working guest OS: Mac OSX 10.9
Software: Vmware wks 10.0.4
Guest OS To install: Mac OSX 10.10
First of all, please notice that you need a working Mac OSX vm (such as a Mac 10.9 vm) or the knowledge about how to modify the vmx file (you can always copy the vmx file from the working vm).
A useful guide for installation: One comprehensive guide
To make a long story short, the following is a VERY concise description of the installation process (if you do not understand the meaning of any step, please read the above guide or google) :
- First, use Unibeast to make a usb installer disk, and then place the FakeSMC and NullCpupowermanagement kext (please use the right version such as the one in your working Mac vm) in the right place.
- Second, boot usb disk using EFI in vmware and install. Then copy the 2 kext to the installed guest OS.
- Third, check the 3D acceleration in vm config or you can hardly login into the newly installed Mac vm.
- Last, start your Yosemite vm and install the latest vmtools from vmware fusion so as to improve the preformance ( and enable the vmware shared folders feature which I have used a lot).
Compared with its predecessors, Mac Yosemite consumes much much more memory. I only allocated 2G bytes memory and a processor with 2 cores for my Mountain Lion vm, it basically ran very smoothly with Xcode or Term. However, Yosemite may need 4G to retain the same performance. Mac OSX always starts a lot of processes after boot up…
