What it does

Hackmate automates the creation of a bootable OpenCore hackintosh USB, eliminating manual configuration steps.

When to use it
  • You need to set up multiple hackintosh machines with the same configuration.
  • You're not familiar with manual config.plist editing and kext installation.
  • You want to save time by automating the hackintosh setup process.
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run `hackmate --usb /dev/disk2` to create a bootable OpenCore hackintosh USB on the device located at /dev/disk2.
Heads up: Make sure you have Python 3.8 or later installed, as hackmate relies on Python for its execution, and also ensure you have the necessary permissions to access and write to the target USB device.
