Building OpenCore Legacy Patcher

[Cyberdevs]

 

OpenCore Legacy Patcher is now available for macOS Sonoma, It’s an early preview so please read this before using it:

https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/pull/1077#issuecomment-1646934494

 

 

The procedure to build OCLP for macOS Sonoma is the same as macOS Ventura but you need to download it for macOS Sonoma at:

https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/tree/sonoma-development

 

You need to have these installed before being able to build the OCLP:

 

• Xcode or Xcode Command Line Tools on your host OS
• Python 3.6 or newer if you've got any installation errors use python 3.10 for generating the binaries

Download the OCLP 0.6.9 from the link above

Open terminal and type cd then drag the OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher-sonoma-development folder to the terminal then press enter.

 

Your prompt should look something like this:

user@users-Mac-Pro OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher-sonoma-development %

 

Type 

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

 and once the installation is done you can run the Build-Binary.command inside the OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher-sonoma-development folder to build the latest version of the OCLP

 

Once it’s done open: OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.command or you just can find the GUI application inside the "dist" folder which you can use on any system running macOS Sonoma.

 

If you don’t want to compile OCLP from repo you can just download and use the prebuilt version of it:

 

Nightly Link: OpenCore-Patcher.app (Sonoma Development)

 

Remember OCLP for macOS Sonoma is beta stage and it’s also in constant development so you need to update it frequently.
