Unless you have a Mac, it's illegal just to ask that question.

Basically you can't.
Why do you want to? Development work?

Good luck.

- install VMware Workstation (that installs Player as well, or just use Player but Workstation offers more customization)

- install the latest VMware unlocker (2.08) from InsanelyMac's forums

- get an ISO for the version of OSX you want to install (not all that simple, but they're out there if you look hard enough)

- install OSX using the ISO

That's about really. If you're attempting to install Yosemite (bad idea) or El Capitan (better) or Sierra's preview (it sucks so far) then you'll have to edit the vmx configuration file and add the line:

smc.version = "0"


or switch the Workstation version to 10 in the settings, choose one or the other (the smc.version line addition is recommended). Without one of those changes (not both) you won't get Yosemite/El Capitan/Sierra working in a VM, it's a must-do thing.

this, if you don't want to use a pre-made rootkit you have to start with an earlier version like OSX 10.7 that will boot in the VM with EmpireEFI. You can then download from the app store and make a bootable iso of el-capitan, It's a long and painful process but at least you are sure to have a legit image.
