Install OS X 10.11 El Capitan on Hackintosh (Vanilla) Nov 7, 2015 Warning: Please follow these instructions at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage or information loss that could result from following this guide. Also, note that installing OS X on PC is illegal. Please buy a real Mac if you're satisfied with your Hackintosh. This guide is for evaluation purposes only.
Requirements • An Intel-based PC with UEFI bios • A USB flash drive with at least 16GB capacity • A dedicated hard drive (SSD highly recommended) • A computer running OS X (10.9 or later) for preparing the installation USB flash drive I chose to avoid the UniBeast installer (by Tonymacx86) because of its commercialized nature, as described. Here is a vanilla guide to installing El Capitan on your PC!
Preparing the USB Installation Drive First things first. We need to prepare a USB thumb drive that will contain the installation files as well as the bootloader and custom kexts for our specific Hackintosh build. Download El Capitan from the Mac App Store Head over to your existing OS X environment running 10.9 or later and open the Mac App Store. Search for 'El Capitan' and click Download.
The download is completely free if you're running OS X 10.9+. Wait for the download to finish (this could take some time). Format the USB Drive Open Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities and locate your USB device. Make sure you've backed up anything important on that drive as it will be erased forever. Windows or mac for sounds. Select it, and then on the right, click the partition tab. • Click Curent Layout and change it to 1 Partition.
Turn off search tracking google chrome for mac. Chrome doesn't provide details of which websites and web services respect Do Not Track requests and how websites interpret them. On your computer, open Chrome. At the top right, click More Settings. Because requests to stop tracking are handled on a website-by-website basis, tracking can't be turned off completely in Chrome. When configured properly, however, the browser sends a Do Not Track request to each website you visit. It is up to the website itself whether it acknowledges and respects this request.
• Set the Name to USB. • Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). • Click Options and select GUID Partition Table. Click Apply to format the drive. Copy the Installation Files to the USB Drive Now that we've downloaded the installation files from the Mac App Store and formatted our USB drive, let's copy the installation files to it.
Run the following command in the Terminal (Applications/Utilities): sudo /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app --nointeraction The command will run a script inside the Install OS X El Capitan application that will copy the installation files to the USB drive. This process takes about 15 minutes. Go out for a quick run, or a hamburger, or both. When you come back, it should have finished.
Installing a Bootloader If you tried to boot from the USB drive as is after the previous step on a PC, it wouldn't work. We need a bootloader that makes it possible to boot OS X on x86 and x86_64 PCs.
There are 3 popular bootloaders to choose from. • Clover • Chameleon • Chimera I went with Clover as it seems to be the most popular choice among other El Capitan installers, mostly for the following reasons: Clover is an open-source EFI-based bootloader created on Apr 4, 2011. It has a totally different approach from Chameleon and Chimera. It can emulate the EFI portion present on real Macs and boot the OS from there instead of using the regular legacy BIOS approach used by Chameleon and Chimera. For many, Clover is considered the next-gen bootloader and soon it will become the only choice since BIOS in being replaced by UEFI in every new motherboard.
