Apr 2016, 13:49. Hello, I want to install El Capitan in Virtualbox 5.0.16 for testing use.El Capitan is my host system too. In several postings I have found a script to create El Capitan.iso. But the installation process.
VirtualBox only officially supports OS X guests on an OS X host, but it is possible to create one on an OS X host and transfer it over to a Linux host. This tutorial will go over one possible way to accomplish this task.
What you will need
- An Apple computer running OS X 10.11
- A Linux computer to transfer the VM over to
- 20 GB free on the Apple Machine
- 40 GB free on the Linux Machine
Step One: VMWare
Install VMWare Fusion Pro on your OSX Host ( https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/fusion-evaluation ). Open it up and select File -> New.
On the 'Select the Installation Method' menu, choose 'Install OSX from the recovery partition'. Follow the instructions and soon OSX will start installing in a VMWare VM. Go through the OSX installation process until the point where OSX asks you to setup the installation (IE: create users, etc). This could take up to two hours. When its done, shutdown the VMWare VM.
In the VMWare 'Virtual Machine Library' menu, select the OSX VM you just created, and then select File -> Export To OVF.
This will create a folder with three files in it:
- .mf
- .ovf
- .vmdk
Step Two: Modify the OVF Files
Next we need to take care of a few inconsistencies between VMWare's OVF format and VirtualBox's OVF format. Run the following commands on the .ovf file:
Since we have modified the OVF file, its SHA1 checksum will have changed. We need to update the .mf file to account for these changes. The .mf file should look something like this:
Run:
Take the resulting hash and replace the hash after SHA1(<VM_NAME>.ovf)= in <VM_NAME>.mf with this result.
Copy the OVF folder with all three files over to the Linux Machine.
Step Three: Import OVF into Linux host VirtualBox
Open up virtualbox on the Linux host, and import the OVF. You'll need to set the VM OS Type to 'Mac OS X' and the OS Version to 'Mac OS X 10.11 El-capitan (64-bit)'.

Next, open up a terminal and run the following VBoxManage commands:

Now you should be able to boot up the VM and have it run properly on the Linux host.
