Aug 08, 2017 I get an ISO of Darwin many many years ago (I think at the time of Puma or similar) but it seems that they don't share the ISO anymore. Then think ad Darwin as to GNU-Linux.
In this article, we shared the VMware Tools link for macOS High Sierra running on VMware Workstation virtual machine.
Download VMware Tools for macOS Virtual Machine
When you install macOS High Sierra with the VMware Workstation virtualization program, you must install virtual machine tools. When you install MacOS with VMware Workstation software, you can use the VM Tools inside the program.
But if you have installed macOS High Sierra on ESXi, you need to setup VM Tools with darwin.iso. If you use macOS with VM Workstation, you can use this file if you have any problems with the existing file.
What is the Benefit of Installing Virtual Machine Tools?
- Fixes a low video resolution problem.
- Inadequate color depth improves.
- Resolves the problem of displaying the network speed incorrectly.
- Improves limited movement of the mouse.
- Copy and paste files and enable drag-and-drop.
- Fixes the problem of lost sound.
- Allows the guest to take snapshots of the operating system.
- The guest synchronizes the time on the operating system with the time on the host computer.
- Installs the hardware drivers of the virtual machine.
- Allows you to use the virtual machine in full-screen mode.
In the previous article, we installed macOS with ESXi and then installed the VMware Tools using the darwin file.
In this article, we share the VMware Tools software for Apple Mac OS X virtual systems.
Download Darwin.iso for macOS High Sierra
We recommend that you setup it on macOS virtual machines using the this file. You can download the darwin.iso file for Mac OS to your computer by clicking on the button below.
Final Word
In this article, we have shared with you the darwin.iso file, the VMware Tools software required for macOS machines. You can also install macOS Mojave VMware Tools using this file. Thanks for following us!

I've conducted a research on UNIX operating systems and found out that an experimental OS (Darwin) is used for development of the OSX; just like Fedora on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Darwin OS has a license of 'Apple Public Source License' or freeware.
Darwin OS can be installed on x86 computer architectures according to Wikipedia.
I've searched all over the net and torrent sites but it seems that the links to recent versions of the OS like 13, 12, etc. are very hard to find.
I've tried the site 'opensource.apple.com' but the 'Download' section could not be found. I think that the links are hidden.
1) Where can I download a recent version of Darwin like 12, 11, or 10? I just found Darwin 8.0.1 here.
2) Can I download the source code and just compile it to ISO format?
3) Can you give me direct links?
Answers will help me a lot for studying Objective-C (Java programmer here).
Thanks!

Apple Darwin
The PureDarwin project is attempting to maintain a complete and bootable implementation of the Darwin OS. From their website:
Darwin Operating System
One current goal of this project is to provide a useful bootable ISO of Darwin 10.x and Darwin 9.x.
Darwin itself is a modified FreeBSD OS with Mach microkernel.
Note though that having Darwin is not a necessary part of developing in Obj-C. Both gcc and clang support Obj-C development in newer versions. You are, of course, limited in what you can do relative to using Obj-C on an OS X machine because there are far fewer standard libraries available outside of the OS X world for Obj-C.
