vinstall's Issues

Can you provide Chinese version?

macOS version of vinstall (Mac testers are welcomed)

Firstly, this is another great project. As you have mentioned (and in the todo), a macOS version would make such a cross-platform installer complete. When people refer to the desktop OSes, it would be Windows, Linux, and macOS. For testing purposes, it is possible to load versions of macOS on VirtualBox, and there are many YouTube videos on how to.
