< h1 > Project 081 Installation Guide </ h1 >
< p >< strong > You 've reached the Installation Guide. By following this guide you' ll find out how to install Project 081 on your Late 2007 or Early 2008 Macs . After this guide , if all went well you should have a fully working Mac running 10.4 . 10 Tiger </ strong ></ p >
< h4 > WARNING : This guide is ONLY valid for Project 081 0.5 ( current version as of 2022 - 03 - 22 ), if you 're running 0.6 and this guide hasn' t been updated yet , please do not follow along unless necessary .</ h4 >
< h4 > This guide DOES NOT cover custom images . If you wish to use a custom image then follow the other guide . </ h4 >
< h1 > The guide starts here .</ h1 >
< h3 >< strong > Pt . 1 : Making sure you have everything </ strong ></ h3 >
< p > In order to follow the guide you must have :</ p >
< ul >
< li > A Late 2007 or Early 2008 Apple Mac .</ li >
< li > A USB drive or a DVD ( 2 GB or larger , only tested with a 16 GB USB drive ) </ li >
< li > An internet connection </ li >
< li > Time and patience ( You know , just in case ) </ li >
< li > Second machine running Windows / Mac OS X / Linux ( Highly recommended ) </ li >
< li > Web browser ( Even links will do ) </ li >
</ ul >
< h3 >< strong > Pt . 2 : Understanding the Risks </ strong ></ h3 >
< ul >
< li > Data loss can happen if you format the wrong partition . </ li >
< li > Tiger doesn ' t really like Windows or GNU / Linux EFI partitions and will sometimes break them so we highly recommend that you install Windows or GNU / Linux on a separate drive . If you must run Windows or GNU / Linux on the same drive make sure to back up your data , and be ready to reinstall Windows or GNU / Linux . unless you at least redeploy your bootloaders . </ li >
< li > General security things , Mac OS X Tiger has not been updated and supported since 2009 so there are some risks </ li >
< li > Bad luck causing your machine to 'reject' the install . It has happened to a few people and the cause is not known .</ li >
< li > Project 081 is not an official product by Apple and 'can' therefore be filled with malicious software ( Although you can check for yourself ) . However the entire operating system is proprietary as Apple made it that way . It ' s likely a botnet anyway .</ li >
< li > The people behind Project 081 will not take any responsibility for any data loss , dead machines or any reason not listed here . This software is simply provided to you for free and it ' s your responsibility to use it correctly .</ li >
</ ul >
< h3 >< strong > Pt . 3 : Getting Started </ strong ></ h3 >
< p > Make sure you know what Mac you have . Do this by running sysctl hw . model . Results should be one of the following :</ p >
< ul >
< li >< h5 id = " imac8-1 " > iMac8 , 1 </ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 id = " xserve2-1 " > Xserve2 , 1 </ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 id = " macpro3-1 " > MacPro3 , 1 </ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 id = " macbook3-1 " > MacBook3 , 1 </ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 id = " macbook4-1 " > MacBook4 , 1 </ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 id = " macbookpro4-1 " > MacBookPro4 , 1 </ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 id = " macbookair1-1 " > MacBookAir1 , 1 </ h5 >
</ li >
</ ul >
< p >< strong > If the number value is lower than these then your machine can OFFICIALLY run Mac OS X Tiger and therefore doesn ' t need this ( See download section for Mac OS X images ) </ strong ></ p >
< p >< strong > If the number value is higher than these then your machine CANNOT run Mac OS X Tiger because the hardware is fully incompatible . Sorry , Apple made it that way . ( Although feel free to try ) </ strong ></ p >
< p >< strong > If you get nothing back , something is wrong with your OS or machine .</ strong ></ p >
< p >< strong > If you have a MacBookAir1 , 1 : You will not have ANY graphics acceleration which means your OS might run slow . It should still run well because Tiger is lightweight but keep this in mind .</ strong ></ p >
< p >< strong > If you have a MacPro3 , 1 : Your hardware may be unsupported if it was upgraded with components that Tiger doesn ' t natively support . Make sure to check what hardware you have before installing .</ strong ></ p >
< p >< strong > If you have a Hackintosh : Stop , this is the wrong place for that .</ strong >
Hackintosh users should follow a proper Hackintosh - focused guide such as the official OpenCore installation guide .</ p >
2022-11-26 12:28:56 +01:00
< p > On a computer with a working internet connection and a web browser , check the < a href = " p081-downloads.php " > Downloads </ a > section and download the image your model needs . </ p >
2022-11-23 12:11:35 +01:00
< p >< img src = " https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71722170/159522246-63afb4bf-36df-4061-bc85-71b7393d8acb.png " alt = " image " ></ p >
< p > Make sure you get this right as failing to do so will leave you with a broken OS that may not install . You can download the image with any of the mirrors or with the < code > wget </ code > or < code > curl </ code > command listed for your download . Do not interrupt or cancel the download and be patient .</ p >
< p > If you 're downloading the image on a Mac running Mac OS X, you may wanna try mounting it before writing the image. If it doesn' t mount then it ' s corrupted and you should definitely redownload the image to prevent wasting your time and potentially breaking your Mac / USB drive .</ p >
< h5 id =>< strong > At this point , insert your USB drive into the machine you downloaded the image on .</ strong ></ h5 >
< h4 id => If you wish to burn a DVD instead , you can do so as well but it ' s unsupported .</ h4 >
< p > SD card booting is not supported ( Why would one wanna do that anyway )
Other methods are unsupported , try them at your own risk .</ p >
< h3 >< strong > Pt . 4 : Writing the image </ strong ></ h3 >
< p > Now that we have our image , understand the risks and know the model of our machine , let ' s continue with the guide by writing the image we just spent our bandwidth on !</ p >
< p > To write the image , you will have many options available to you .
In this guide , we 're showing you how to use two of them, although only recommend the easy method because the second method isn' t safe .</ p >
< p >< strong > Using balenaEtcher </ strong ></ p >
< h4 > NOTE : If you are heavily against Electron ( Chromium ) based applications like myself , please do not use this method . balenaEtcher uses Electron so please keep this in mind . balenaEtcher also has telemetry built in .</ h4 >
< p > Download balenaEtcher and install it on the machine you downloaded the image to .
Here are some links you can use to download Etcher </ p >

< p > Once you have balenaEtcher installed and working , launch it using your preferred method .
< strong > NOTE : You may need to format your drive in some cases although Etcher should detect it automatically anyway </ strong ></ p >
< p > Click 'Select Image' and select the Project 081 image you downloaded earlier . </ p >
< p > Then select your drive ( Be careful , you could potentially erase your entire boot drive ) . Then click 'Flash' and wait while it writes the image to your USB drive and verifies it .</ p >
< p >< strong > Method 2 : Using the Mac OS X / Linux Terminal </ strong ></ p >
< p > This method only works for Linux and Mac OS X users ( although might work on BSDs ) . This is also the least bloated option but it can easily cause data loss if you ' re not familiar with the terminal .</ p >
< p > If you are running a custom kernel ( mostly for Gentoo users like myself ), make sure you have HFS + support enabled in your kernel !</ p >
< p >< img src = " https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71722170/159519521-bc470d00-c558-49e1-9874-cab4627fa186.png " alt = " image " ></ p >
< p > Once the disk is no longer mounted , run < code > sudo dd if =/ location / p081 . dmg of =/ dev / diskX </ code > to format and write the image to the disk .
You can see your disks using the < code > lsblk </ code > command .</ p >
< p >< strong > On Linux systems , it won ' t be / dev / diskX but / dev / sdX . Please keep this in mind .</ strong ></ p >
< p >< img src = " https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71722170/159521874-7d5233dc-1479-4324-aff6-f3eab60a6bf0.png " alt = " image " ></ p >
< p >< strong > NOTE : Some users may not have sudo available to them . In this case , use < code > su </ code > or < code > doas </ code > if available .</ strong ></ p >
< p >< em > Again , make sure you get the right identifier as otherwise you ' ll likely erase the wrong drive . Be VERY careful .</ em ></ p >
< p > Make sure you wait for the process to finish . < strong > Do not </ strong > eject the drive until the image is fully written to the drive . Doing so may cause damage to the drive and will cause corruption .</ p >
< h3 id = " -pt-5 " >< strong > Pt . 5 : Installation </ strong ></ h3 >
< p > If you reached this point and didn ' t fail , you should have a USB drive ( Or DVD ) containing Project 081
The hard part is now done , the rest is pretty easy as long as you won ' t have more issues .</ p >
< p > Make sure your Mac is plugged in , and then insert the USB drive into one of its USB ports .</ p >
< p >< strong > NOTE that the official Apple iMac keyboards are known to cause issues when booting from USB devices so plug it into one of the ports on your machine .</ strong ></ p >
< p > Power on your machine and hold the Option key when powering your machine up . If you don ' t have an official Apple branded keyboard , it should be the Windows flag key . If you use Linux , this is usually your < strong > Super </ strong > key or < strong > Mod </ strong > key .</ p >
< p > If you fail this way , try holding Left ALT instead . If you still cannot reach the menu , your keyboard may have a weird configuration . In this case try another keyboard .</ p >
< p > Once in the boot menu , you 'll want to pick the USB drive. This option may have the Project 081 logo with a Project 081 label but it may also be named ' EFI Boot ' and have a regular hard drive icon .</ p >
< p > If you are not sure which option is correct , unplug any other bootable devices or try booting until you get the right one .</ p >
< p > After pressing enter , you should either see an Apple logo with a spinning wheel or a bunch of text . Both of these are normal . Please be patient and wait while it tries to boot to the Project 081 installer .</ p >
< p > If all went fine , you should see either a window that looks like an installer with a nice message or a blue screen . If you see a blue screen , please wait a moment while it loads the Installer . app </ p >
< p >< img src = " https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71722170/159522741-69afb9a3-8293-46c3-97f5-ca73061e98ba.png " alt = " image " ></ p >
< p > If you ' re stuck at a blue screen for a long time ( 10 or more minutes ), the installer probably froze , in this case please contact me or add an issue on GitHub .</ p >
< p > At the top of your screen , you should see either a 'Util' , 'Utilities' or 'Tools' option . Click this option and then Disk Utility .</ p >
< p > Select your internal or external drive ( Install destination ) and format it as Mac OS Extended ( Journaled )
Make sure you don ' t format the wrong drive . The drive should NOT be MBR but GPT .</ p >
< p > Once you 're sure you selected the correct drive (You may need to format the entire drive, not just a partition) click the ' Erase ' button and then ' Erase ' to confirm it . </ p >
< p > Wait while it erases your drive and perhaps your memories . It shouldn ' t take too long . If the process fails , try again . Otherwise the drive may be failing .</ p >
< p > Finally , exit out of the Disk Utility , select your drive and click Install . No need to customize as all the extra features have been taken out . </ p >
< p > Patches will be automatically installed if needed . Now all you have to do is wait for the installation process to finish . It should automatically reboot so you can go grab a snack or something while it installs . </ p >
< p > After the install , you may eject your USB drive or DVD from your Mac as it shouldn ' t be needed anymore .</ p >
< p > It should automatically boot into your Mac OS X installation but if it doesn ' t , hold the Option key on boot and select the Mac OS X partition . </ p >
< h3 id = " pt-6 " >< strong > Pt . 6 : If .. whatever happens </ strong ></ h3 >
< ul >
< li >< h5 > If it 's not available, the installer may have failed to bless the volume. In this case, you may try to bless it yourself but it shouldn' t be necessary .</ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 > If you boot and it gives you a nice prohibition sign , consider yourself screwed . You may try to reinstall but the issue is likely related to your hardware . You might wanna try booting in Verbose mode to check where it fails . </ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 > If you ' re booting through a third - party bootloader then it could likely be the issue . You should boot using completely vanilla methods like Apple intended .</ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 > If you kernel panic , your model is likely unsupported and this was a complete waste of time . If your machine IS supported , create an issue on GitHub or contact me .</ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 > If it keeps spinning forever , this could be because of the above issues or something completely different . Create an issue on GitHub or contact me .</ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 > If you reach the intro video , you 'll find out which features work and don' t work .</ h5 >
</ li >
< li >< h5 > If you do not have any audio , you downloaded the wrong image . You should download the ( ALT ) image instead of the regular one . If you downloaded the ALT image and your machine needs the regular image , reinstall using the regular image .</ h5 >
</ li >
</ ul >
< h3 >< strong > Pt . 7 : Setting up your Mac .</ strong ></ h3 >
< p > Set up your Mac as usual , and enjoy your Project 081 install . Any features designed for officially supported Intel Macs should be working , even on your Late 2007 / Early 2008 Macs . If some features are broken , create an issue on GitHub please so that I can fix it .</ p >
< h4 > You just finished the Project 081 install guide .</ h4 >
< p > If you have any issues or questions , have a look around the Wiki .
