Steps to Install macOS Mojave on VMware using VMDK
Step 1: Download the prerequisites
To install macOS Mojave on VMware using VMDK, you need to download the virtualization software like VMware Workstation or VMware Player, macOS Mojave 10.14 VMDK file and macOS Unlocker for VMware. All the essential files are listed down below for download.
Download VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.x or VMware Player 15.5.x. VMware Workstation 15 Pro or VMware Player 15 Download the macOS Unlocker V3 for VMware Download – GitHub (latest Version) Direct Download – MediaFire (3.0.3) Download macOS Mojave VMDK macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G103) Latest macOS Mojave 10.14.5 (18F203) macOS Mojave 10.14 (18A293u) Beta
Step 2: Install the Prerequisites
Now install the following virtualization application, and if you already have it by any chance then you’re welcome to skip but make sure then it works properly and updated to the latest version.
Install VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.x or VMware Player 15.5.x
Run the VMware Workstation Pro/Player and follow the prompt leaving all the options as default.
Step 3: Unlock VMware to Install macOS Mojave
Firstly make sure VMware Workstation application is closed completely otherwise the VMware unlocker won’t work. You can do this by Clicking on File Tab > Exit. You should have downloaded macOS Unlocker V3 for VMware Workstation from GitHub or the direct link. So now extract the macOS Unlocker V3.0 for VMware Workstation. Right-click on win-install.cmd and select Run as Administrator. This step is very important because you won’t see Apple Mac OS X on the Operating System list while creating a new VM unless you patch VMware with this tool. Note: You may always uninstall the previous version of the Unlocker before using a new release. Failure to do this could render VMware unusable. – David Parsons
Step 4: Create a New Virtual Machine
#1. Open VMware and click on Create a New Virtual Machine (Ctrl+N) then select Typical (Recommended) and click Next. #2. Now select I will install the operating system later and click Next. Choose Apple Mac OS X from operating system list then select macOS 10.14 from version and click Next. #3. Name the virtual machine as you prefer like macOS Mojave. Click Browse to choose a location to save virtual machine files and click Next, or you may let it as default (recommended). #4. Don’t Specify the disk space just select Store virtual disk as a single file and click Next. On Ready to Create Virtual Machine, Click Finish.
Step 5: Edit the new Virtual Machine
Step 6: Edit macOS Mojave VMX File (Optional)
Step 7: Wait for macOS Mojave Installation
Step 8: Complete Basic macOS Account Settings
Once the installation part complete, the VM will reboot, and after the reboot, you should see macOS Mojave Welcome page.
