In the ﬁrst case, quitt the in installer and do not proceed. In the second case do nothing.

+This is due to the Mac OS X policy, to deny to open apps from unknown developers. But you can force to open the app. Therefore, do not move the app into the trash. Next, open the System Ulilities App and select the security settings. Somewhere at the end, you can force oppening the app (see Fig. {{ref>macos_high_sierra_open}}). Then, follow the instructions and try to open ''createinstallmedia'' again.

 Finally, we convert the disk image to a DVD image:
+<code bash>
 hdiutil convert HighSierra.sparseimage -format UDTO -o HighSierra.iso

 and move the DVD image to the desktop folder.
+<code bash>
 mv HighSierra.iso.cdr ~/Desktop/HighSierra.iso

 And do not forget to erase the no more needed disk image:

 rm HighSierra.sparseimage

 This new created DVD image will be used to install Mac OS X High Sierra in Virtual Box.
-Create a Virtual Machine of Mac OS X High Sierra using Virtual Box
+===== Create a Virtual Machine of Mac OS X High Sierra using Virtual Box =====
 Now, we can start building a virtual machine of Mac OS X High Sierra using Virtual Box. This procedure has only been tested using Mac OS X. What you need, is the Virtual Box App and a DVD image of Mac OS X High Sierra. How to create this DVD image was explained in the previous chapter.
-Now, launch the Virtual Box App and create a virtual machine by pressing the New-button. A new window opens that guides you through the creation process (see Fig 3).
+Now, launch the //Virtual Box App// and create a virtual machine by pressing the New-button. A new window opens that guides you through the creation process (see fig {{ref>highsierra_create}}).
-Give the virtual machine a meaningful name, select Mac OS X as the desired operating system and macOS 10.13 High Sierra (64 bit) as the operating system version. If you have ﬁnished, press continue.

-After the installation is completed, you will see the Mac OS X Desktop of High Sierra. It is a good advice to install now the Virtual Box Guest Additions. For this, you have to eject the installation image of High Sierra and to choose then Item Insert Guest CD Image of the Device menu. This menu is only visible after start of a virtual machine. After the image has been mounted, the Desktop is similar as shown in Fig. 12.
