Last week I published a video on how to create a bootable ISO file that contained macOS Catalina 10.15 so you can boot into VMWare Workstation 15.5. During the video there were many terminal commands. I promised that I will post up all the commands as a cheat sheet, so you can copy and paste into the terminal to make life easy. Here is the code used during the video below:
btnhd#:> hdiutil attach /Applications/Install macOS Catalina.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/Catalina
Mac Os X Iso File For Virtualbox
Download and install VMWare Workstation. But to do that, you need to disable Hyper-V first. Download VMWare unlocker and run windows/install.cmd script. It allows to choose Mac OS X system during VM creation later on. Convert Mac OS X image (Mountain Lion in my case) from.dmg to.iso (using dmg2img). Dec 10, 2018 Copy the ISO installation image of Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra to the datastore by using VMware Embedded Host Client, VMware vSphere Client or WinSCP if you have not yet copied the image. In VMware vSphere Client, click Storage, select your datastore, click Files, and then click Upload files. Install VMware Unlocker Tool: When you installed VMware Workstation after creating a new virtual machine you will see the Mac OS X option does not exist in the list. By patching a small command of cmd file the macOS option will appear.
btnhd#:> hdiutil create -o /tmp/CatalinaBase.cdr -size 9000m -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J

But the new edition of VMware tools seem to solve this issue for most of the users.

One more thing, you will need to get a copy on the unlocker-master files to enable VMware Workstation 15 to run macOS as a guest virtual machine. Go to github.com/btnhd to grab the script.
