However if you have a low-power CPU (e.g. Hardware: I am not sure about hardware requirements, as most modern Macs will probably eclipse the power needed to run the guest OS. If you don’t have them, you might be prompted (by MacOS) to install them. Don’t worry about seedless torrents these ones are backed with web seeding.ĭevTools: I already have homebrew and XCode installed because of this I was not prompted for missing command line tools.
