### How do I install a custom linux image?
### How to Install macOS from an IPSW Image
The process for creating a custom linux image differs than macOS, with IPSW restore files not being used. You need to create a linux VM first, then mount a setup image file to the VM for the first boot.
#### Create a new macOS VM using the latest supported IPSW image:
Run the following command to create a new macOS virtual machine using the latest available IPSW image:
```bash
lume create <name> --os macos --ipsw latest
```

To create a macOS virtual machine from an older or specific IPSW file, first download the desired IPSW (UniversalMac) from a trusted source.
Then, use the downloaded IPSW path:
```bash
lume create <name> --os macos --ipsw <downloaded_ipsw_path>
```
