The DMG file extension is associated with disk images created for Mac OS X. The DMG format has replaced older disk image formats used with Mac OS 9 and earlier versions of the operating system. DMG files are raw disk images that contain block data and may have one or two additional layers applied to add encryption and compression.

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:
Mac Os X Vmware Unlocker
- 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).
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:
- 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)
Mac Os Vmware Download
Linux (Ubuntu) installation is much easier. You just download Ubuntu iso and create VM on VMWare workstation using downloaded .iso file. That’s it.
