The first hurdle is that it errs out on the bash version. Yes, yes, I know, Apple supplies v3.x something and you have to upgrade to v4.x something or higher. But when I upgraded using 'brew install bash' I got to v5.x something. Voila, the script still thinks we're in the wrong version.
The path is good, the test, run manually in the terminal, is good, the script looks good, but still fails. Not sure why.
Never mind, I modified the script to remove the 'exit' on wrong bash version, and all was well until the install crashed with an utterly incomprehensible "./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh: line 1400: -: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "-")"
Line 1400 is the end of some very obscure keyboard scancodes. No idea where to go with that.
When I manually formatted a virtual drive GUID and Mac OS Extended (journaled), the install inside the VM failed with some cryptic Mac error.
Fortunately, after a reboot, the Catalina installation seemed to proceed without problems and I achieved a working system. So, yay!
