## Step 3

On the Clover screen, press [Enter] to boot up the macOS VM. You need to format the QEMU disk partition (the one you created with `qemu-img`) before installing the macOS, otherwise macOS won't know how to use the partition. Choose [Disk Utility], then select the QEMU disk that is larger (e.g. the 64 GB one if you were following these instructions exactly). Choose [Erase] and then give your disk a new name. Once it's done, exit the Disk Utility and choose [Install macOS].

You're done!

To fine-tune the system and improve performance, look in the `docs` folder for more information on [adding memory](docs/guide-performance.md), setting up [bridged networking](docs/guide-networking.md), adding [passthrough hardware (for GPUs)](docs/guide-passthrough.md), tweaking [screen resolution](docs/guide-screen-resolution.md), and enabling sound features.
