Cannot Install Catalina
At the time of output mac os 10.13 was removed support for boot from RAID 0 drives.
I was looking for a solution. Post on apple developer remained unanswered.
The @taruga solution on real macs needed to be run in single user. In Catalina, the system disc is read-only, which makes the task even more difficult
Cannot Install or update products - 2020 Delux edition. Running Catalina on desktop Mac cannot Install or update 2020 deluxe on Mac desktop 0. Post Install: Configuring macOS Catalina. Because this is a clean install, Catalina has no previous preferences to fall back on, so you’ll need to set up the Mac the way it was the first time you turned it on. Your Mac will display the Welcome screen, where you can select the country where you’re using your Mac.
The entry describes step-by-step installation process
- Download Patcher from @dosdude1 site (@dosdude1 great job! ).
- Create a bootable flash drive. If you need step-by-step instructions on how to create a bootable Flash Drive see the video:
If you’re using a Hackintosh. After creating the installer, install Clover on efi partition on usb installer. If your config and kext work with normal installation, they will also work with Raid. (If you need help with clover configuration you will find it on insanelymac)
- After creating the usb installer Reboot.
- Holding down the alt (option) key
- Run the installer from the flash drive
- Open the terminal remove the current raid and create the new one (the diskutil and gpt commands)
- Exit the terminal and open the disk utility and format the array APFS
- Exit disk utility and install macOS Catalina.
- The installer will continue again after the restart.
- At the end you will see that the system cannot be installed. Remove installer & Reboot
- this is necessary to continue with the internal drive and not with the installer on the usb
- The installation error will pop up again.
- click on the menu bar (call up by clicking on wifi) select the terminal from the utilities menu and type
- Restart
- Select the flash drive installer again and boot
- Choose Post Install patch.
- check Apfs patch
- SIP patch
- Be sure you rebuild caches too, the option will show itself after the patches been apple is and its counting down
- Finally Restart & Whala!

'Why can't I download macOS Catalina?: I have a MacBook Air 13-Inch, 2017 model but whenever i try to install it, it says that my mac is up to date. I even used the system preferences to search for a new update but it came up empty. What should I do?'

Try these Three Methods...
A. Create a New Administrator User:
See if you can install this, through use of a new Administrator user.
B. Resetting the SMC and NVRAM:
Sometimes operations are performed and then the keyboard settings become manipulated, technically. So... Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM. Then reboot, trying this once more.
C. Scan your Mac for Malware:
Malware, which makes you Mac, run in malicious manor. Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
- Download it
- Install it
- Update it
- Scan with it
- Remove what is Found
- Reboot the Mac
- Remove it, if desired: Malwarebytes uninstaller
