# Install macOS
|
|
|
|
## Create the Installer
|
|
|
|
Start by creating a vanilla macOS installer, refer to [Dortania's Creating the USB](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/).
|
|
|
|
You may also use [`createinstallmedia`](https://support.apple.com/en-us/101578) if you already have a Mac.
|
|
|
|
/// tip
|
|
Often as above, the project will defer universal steps to Dortania links. Hence, this repository is meant to be used in conjunction with their guides.

## Prep the Installer

/// warning
|
|
The default EFI folder is BIOS and network card agnostic.
|
|
///
|
|
|
|
Vanilla BIOS: merge `/patches/ OpenCore Patches/ Vanilla BIOS.plist` with `config.plist`
|
|
|
|
Intel Network Cards [{ .twemoji } OpenIntelWireless](<https://openintelwireless.github.io/>)
|
|
|
|
\*Notice that these patches require additional kexts to be installed. See them in `Kernel/Add/`
|
|
|
|
1. Make the following changes to `config.plist` within the `EFI` folder.
|
|
- `ShowPicker` to `YES`
|
|
- `ScanPolicy` to `0`
|
|
2. Mount the installer media's EFI partition. You may do this via the command line with `diskutil` or via a utility like [corpnewt/MountEFI](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI).
|
|
3. Copy the EFI folder into the installer media's EFI partition. Remember that the top directory level should be `EFI`.
|
|
4. Boot into the macOS installer environment using the media. Format target disk as `APFS` using `Disk Utility` and complete installation.
|
|
|
|
## First Boot
|
|
|
|
1. Boot the installed macOS partition with the existing installer USB and complete new user setup.
|
|
2. Copy `EFI` from the installer into the macOS drive's EFI partition. Set `ShowPicker` to `NO` for a cleaner boot experience. You can still access the boot picker by pressing `ESC` during boot time.
|
|
|
|
/// success
|
|
Your machine should now be able to independently boot macOS.
