pip install click requests
Making the VM
git clone [ Ссылка ]
cd macOS-Simple-KVM
./jumpstart.sh --Catalina
qemu-img create -f qcow2 MyDisk.qcow2 64G
Open basic.sh, add two lines at the end
-drive id=SystemDisk,if=none,file=MyDisk.qcow2 \
-device ide-hd,bus=sata.4,drive=SystemDisk \
Boot using ./basic.sh
Press Ctrl+Alt+G to switch between keyboard/mouse inputs for KVM and Linux
Setting Display Resolution
diskutil list
Mount EFI partition of the first entry
sudo diskutil mount disk0s1
Open config.plist, edit screen resolution to the resolution of your monitor
