#### Download and install macOS in a VM

Download and install macOS in a VM

Launch `sosumi` from the terminal to monitor initial launch setup. Subsequent launches can be done via the desktop icon.

This will boot to the macOS recovery system.

Notes:

* Launch Disk Utility and format the main hard disk before launching the installer
* Based on work at <https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM>
* Does not contain macOS, but downloads an installer image
* Initially launches with VM memory set to 2GiB
* Uses an editable launch script in ~/snap/sosumi/common/launch
* Launches in a fixed resolution window
* Bundles qemu-virgil to provide the VM
* May be slow
* Patches welcome :)
