Building and installing OpenCore

Now that we have a macOS installer, let's now build our OpenCore configuration!

If you haven't downloaded OpenCore Patcher yet, do so now:

• OpenCore Legacy Patcher Releases (opens new window)

Next, run the OpenCore-Patcher.app

Here we'll select Build and Install OpenCore and start building:

WARNING

OpenCore configurations are hardware specific. If you're building OpenCore for a different model than you're currently running, it is absolutely necessary to select the proper model from Settings.

Once it finishes building, you'll want to select the Install OpenCore button:

• If you created a macOS USB manually and don't see it listed, make sure it's either formatted as GUID/GPT or has a FAT32 partition for OpenCore to reside on.

Select Drive	Select Partition

Once finished, head to Booting OpenCore and macOS
