How to install macOS on ESXi

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install macOS 10.11 and 10.12 on ESXi, but my efforts have been fruitless so far. I would appreciate any type of help. I'm using ESXi 6.5.0 (Build 4564106). I was able to install the ovf and iso files on VMware 12 and 14, but I couldn't install ovf and iso files on ESXi.

Thanks in advance

In order to install Mac OS on esxi, you must have official Apple hardware. It is against Apple's EULA to install their OS on any other platform.

Hi,

Thank you so much for the reply. I understand your reply but I have been able to install macOS on VMware on a system not using official apple hardware. Now, I wanna do the same job on ESXi, I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

If you're violating another company's EULA, we cannot help you any further. It doesn't matter how successful you've been at breaking the law in the past. If you're not using Apple official hardware running either ESXi or Fusion, you cannot run Mac OS.
