As we have mentioned, you cannot install the app directly on your PC. For that you need to take the route of a virtual machine. A virtualization software will enable you to run Mac OS X, virtually on your Windows PC. Here is what you need to do:

  1. For the first step download a macOS HighSierra file. You will have to run this later on your virtualization software.
  2. After the download, search for the file in your downloads folder. Upon finding it extract the .rar file. You will need WinRar to be installed.

  3. You will also find a Hard Disk option. Select the ‘Use an Existing Hard Disk file'. Now go ahead and click o the ‘Add' option and choose the extracted macOS HighSierra file.
  4. Click on ‘Choose' and then ‘Create'. Your Virtual Machine is now set up but is not quite ready to use just yet. You need to edit the settings of Mac OS first.

Mac OS setup

  1. Go to the settings tab in the Virtual Machine that you created. First click on the ‘System Settings' and then on ‘Motherboard' tab and uncheck ‘Floppy' and ‘Network' options.
  2. Click on ‘Processor' next. Here select CPU as half of your machine's processor.
  3. After this go the ‘Screen' tab in ‘Display' settings and set the Video Memory as 128 MB. Click on OK to ensure that the changes have been saved.
  4. After that is taken care of, find the CMD tool from start menu and choose ‘Run as Administrator'.
