I have tried the (implied) instructions given by Foxlet — "Note: You can skip this if you already have BaseSystem.img downloaded. If you have BaseSystem.dmg, you will need to convert it with the dmg2img tool."
I put the BaseSystem.img file from El Capitan in the directory and basic.sh runs all the way to the point of installing El Capitan and then I'm stuck because it wants to verify my eligibilty with Apple.
It seems like there should be some way to provide or link to the files on my El Capitan bootable USB, but how?

I'm already up and running on Mojave.
What would I have to do to make it work on El Capitan 10.11?

In reply to Joel. SOLVED: Check if all files in your 'firmware' folder are present. I read somewhere else that 'git clone' command did not copy the OVMF_VARS-1024x768.fd file for someone and when I checked, it was the same case for me. Although, I did find it in the backup firmware folder, which the tutorial had us make initially. Copying that into the actual firmware folder resolved it for me

In reply to Nicholas Reed. SOLVED: I generated a new XML using the "./make.sh --add" command and deleted the downloaded generic XML file they provided. This resolved it for me

I am unable to download the request library: pip install click request. It seams to be gone?

From here you can boot your new VM by running ./basic.sh.

Yeah, I’d love to but it doesn’t get to step 1.
It gives me this:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive id=SystemDisk,if=none,file=MyDisk.qcow2: Could not op’: No such file or directory
./basic.sh: line 30: -device: command not found
Anyone know why this is giving me this error?
