I created Mac OS X Virtual Machine on VMWare. It wasn’t simple process, so I decided to share this experience. I was following this article. Here is an outline:

I would like to have a VM on hyper-v on my Win 8 machine, with OSX mavericks installed. Can anyone direct me in the correct implementation? From what i could find it doesn't seem like there are definite answers anywhere. Chromium OS is the open-source version of Google's closed-source Chrome OS that is only available on Chromebooks. It's available for download for any computer, but might not be compatible with all computers out there and may cause software issues.
- Download and install VMWare Workstation. But to do that, you need to disable Hyper-V first.
- Download VMWare unlocker and run windows/install.cmd script. It allows to choose Mac OS X system during VM creation later on.
- Convert Mac OS X image (Mountain Lion in my case) from .dmg to .iso (using dmg2img).
- Create VM for Mac OS X and choose created Mac OS X .iso file in new VM settings -> hardware -> CD/DVD (SATA) -> Use ISO image file
- Run Virtual Machine and install Mac OS X (described in mentioned article).
- Install VMWare tools (also described in mentioned article).
Hypervisor

Ssh keygen too many arguments. Once Mac OS X is installed and running I updated Mountain Lion to Mavericks. That was easy and went smoothly. Additionally I recommend to do following:
Install Mac Os Hyper V
- Enable shared folders (they are located in /Volumes/VMWare Shared Folders/NAME_OF_FOLDER)
- Install TotalFinder
- Install iTerm 2
- Install Witch
- Install SublimeText 3
- Install Xcode (not only for iOS development, it contains e.g. gcc compiler)
Linux (Ubuntu) installation is much easier. You just download Ubuntu iso and create VM on VMWare workstation using downloaded .iso file. That’s it.
