Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide is a comprehensive documentation site (built with VuePress) for installing macOS on x86 PCs using the OpenCore bootloader. It covers USB installer creation, config.plist setup for various Intel and AMD platforms, installation, troubleshooting, and post-install configuration.

Use cases

  • install macOS on a PC with OpenCore
  • build a Hackintosh from scratch
  • create a macOS installer USB on Windows or Linux
  • configure config.plist for Coffee Lake or AMD Ryzen
  • troubleshoot OpenCore boot and kernel issues
  • convert from Clover to OpenCore
  • set up multiboot with macOS and Windows

When to choose

  • you want to install macOS on non-Apple x86 hardware using OpenCore
  • you need per-CPU-generation config.plist guidance
  • you need troubleshooting help for Hackintosh boot or post-install issues

When to avoid

  • you need the OpenCore bootloader software itself (this is only the guide)
  • you want a one-click automated Hackintosh installer
  • you are installing macOS on ARM or virtualized environments
