An install USB created in Linux or windows won't work. If you don't have a real mac or another hackintosh you always use a VM (See Note no. 2)** + +**This is a simple and quick summary of the install USB creation** +1. Download gibMacOS: https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS + +2. Right click then choose open on gibMacOS.command (it will launch in terminal) + +3. Choose a number from the list provided (Big Sur will probably be number 1 in the list as 11.0.1 Public release) + +4. It will download Big Sur (12.19 GB) and it will place the contents in gibMacOS folder under macOS Downloads/publicrelease/11.0.1 macOS Big Sur. + +5. Open the InstallAssistant.pkg that will extract the installer to your Applications folder + +6. Format your usb drive to Mac OS Extentended (Journaled) with GUID partition scheme + +7.

Now you can proceed with "Setting up OpenCore's EFI environment" from [here](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/mac-install.html#setting-up-the-installer). + +9. Copy the OC and BOOT files from my EFI and fireup the installer. + +10.

I haven't gotten time to write a detailed guide. ## Note: ## 1. If you are installing Catalina or Mojave it is important that you disable Airportitlwm.kext in Kernel/Add/20 of Config.plist and enable itlwm.kext instead. Read Post Install #4.
