In the guide here, we will be creating a Macintosh virtual machine for running Mac OS on top of Mac OS, which can be helpful for testing out different apps and operating system versions, amongst other purposes. We have covered this broad topic many times before for purposes like running Windows 10 on a Mac with a VM, to running Ubuntu Linux in VirtualBox, to Snow Leopard in a VM, and others. This means there is no disk partitioning involved, the virtualized operating system runs just like any other application on your computer.

If everything worked, you shouldn’t see any feedback the commands will simply run.
