How to Install macOS Big Sur

There are two ways you can install Big Sur:

1. If you have an already working macOS, download the Installer from the App Store and make a bootable Installer with createinstallmedia by using this command in Terminal: sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

2. If you are using Windows, use macrecovery.py from the offical OpenCore release package. Follow this guide to understand how it works.

After you have created a bootable Installer, copy the EFI folder to the EFI partition and set SMBIOS data generated with GenSMBIOS. Then install as usual. After the installation, mount the EFI partition of the installed OS and copy the EFI folder to its partition.
