This guide will show you the steps to install Sierra on a AMD Ryzen PC using a VMWare Virtual Machine. I’m making this guide for those who don’t have access to a Mac and need macOS to either try out for a bit or create a macOS boot loader installer for a AMD hackintosh build. There is another VMWare Sierra guide on this site, but with AMD system a modified VMWare image is required to even. How To Speed Up Mac OS X Mojave In Vmware/Virtualbox First: Beamoff. 2020 Update: Unfortunately, Beamoff does not seem to work on mac os mojave. But the new edition of VMware tools seem to solve this issue for most of the users. Beamoff is a free script developed by the Hackintosh community and experts that fix internal issues with the system.
I see that you want to make a macOS VM in VMware on your AMD CPU but have no idea how or you need a macOS virtual machine. You've come to the right place. This guide was written for Windows. It may work in Linux but no guarantees.
Some tips to remember:
Make sure that Virtualization/AMD-V is supported by your CPU and is enabled in your BIOS. CPUs made from around 2006 or newer should supports this but always good to check.
Your CPU also needs to support the SSE4.1 instruction set in order to run Mojave. CPUs made from around 2009 or newer should support this but like I said before, always good to check.
You can use CPU-Z to check if you're not sure.
Due to VMware's graphics acceleration not being compatible with macOS, you will NOT have any graphics acceleration in your virtual machine. Things like the Launchpad will be extremely laggy, the Dock will be opaque and the virtual machine will not have multiple monitor support.
Apple's online services (App Store, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime & Siri) will not work in your virtual machine.
Do not update you virtual machine. The AMD kernel is only built for 10.14.1 and you will break your virtual machine if you update it.
Now that we've made the virtual machine, it's time to install macOS onto it.
Select
Power on this virtual machine
. Your virtual machine should start up. If you are greeted by this message, press 'No'. This is only happening because there's no ISO selected in our virtual DVD drive.
As soon as you see the VMware logo pop up on a white background, immediently hit any key to enter the BIOS.

Select 'EFI VMware Virtual SATA Hard Drive (2.0)' and press enter. This is our Mojave installer that we are booting.
The Apple logo should pop up with a moving status bar, like a real mac. This will take a few minutes to boot, so sit back.
The language prompt will come up. Select your language and continue.
Select 'Disk Utility' and press 'Continue'.
Select 'VMware Virtual SATA Hard Drive Media' under 'Internal' hard drive.
Select 'Erase' in Disk Utility. Name your drive whatever you want. I'm naming my drive 'Mojave'. Change 'Format' to
APFS
and press 'Erase'.Press 'Done' and close Disk Utility.
Select 'Reinstall macOS' and press 'Continue'.
When the installer opens, press 'Continue'.
Agree to the terms and conditions.
Select the hard drive that we erased earlier with Disk Utility and press 'Install'.
Sit back and let it install. This will take about 5 mins, depending on your machine. If it restarts and you get a 'CPU is disabled' error, attempt to close the VM window, select 'Power Off', reopen VMware and run the VM again.
Once the VM restarts, enter the BIOS and boot back into the Mojave installer.
Once the installer has booted, click on 'Utilities' in the Finder bar and select 'Terminal'.
Time to do the pre-install commands. Type these commands in Terminal (replacing 'Mojave' with whatever you named your hard drive earlier):
Reboot the virtual machine and boot to the BIOS. Select 'Enter Setup'.
Select 'Configure boot options'.
Select 'Delete boot option'.
Press Enter to the box next to 'Mac OS X' and select 'Commit changes and exit'.
Go back into 'Configure boot options'
Select 'Add boot option'.
Choose the name of your partition ('Mojave' in my case).
Select 'macOS Install Data'.

Select 'Exit the Boot Maintenance Manager'.
Select 'Mac OS X' and leave it to install. This may take a while.
If you get this error after installation, press 'OK' to restart the VM.
When the VM has rebooted, boot back into the installer and open Terminal once again. Time to do the post-install commands. (replacing 'Mojave' with whatever you named your hard drive earlier):
If you get a 'KernelCache ID' at the end of that, that means that the prelinkedkernel rebuilt succesfully.
Close Terminal and reboot into your hard drive. You should get into the setup now.
Go through the setup process but DO NOT SIGN IN WITH YOUR APPLE ID, choose 'Set Up Later'.
You've successfully installed macOS in a virtual machine. Time to install VMware Tools onto it.
