It's a pretty straight forward exercise, download the app, download macOS, run the app, install macOS. The only catch is that you need to have a metal compatible graphics card. But for the most part just following this guide and it's pretty straightforward: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/
