These installers are usually less than 1 GB in size.\nOtherwise, they appear the same as a normal installer. Make sure to verify the\ninstaller before using this tool. The tool does not support minimal installers.\n\nFor more information, refer to [this forum post](https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/25519/macos-high-sierra-10-13-0-where-to-download-full-installer).\n\n#### VirtualBox EFI errors\nIf you plan to use a High Sierra .iso in VirtualBox, you may encounter EFI\nerrors after the macOS installation process completes. If this occurs,\nVirtualBox will automatically boot you into the EFI shell. You can work around\nthis problem by executing the following commands in the EFI shell:\n\n```bash\nfs1:\ncd \"macOS Install Data\"\ncd \"Locked Files\"\ncd \"Boot Files\"\nboot.efi\n```\n\n## How do I use it?\nFirst, download a macOS installer from the App Store. Once the download is\ncomplete, execute:\n\n```bash\n./mic -i '/Applications/\u003cinstaller-name\u003e.app' -o ~/Desktop/macos.iso\n```\n\n## Where do I download the tool?\nSince this is a Go (Golang) application, the preferred method of installation\nis using `go install`. This automates downloading and building Go applications\nfrom source in a secure manner. By default, this copies applications\ninto `~/go/bin/`.\n\nYou must first [install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). After\ninstalling Go, simply run the following command to install the application:\n\n```sh\ngo install github.com/stephen-fox/mic/cmd/mic@latest\n# If successful, the exectuable should be in \"~/go/bin/\".\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstephen-fox%2Fmic","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstephen-fox%2Fmic","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstephen-fox%2Fmic/lists"}
