Install OS X Mavericks Via Terminal Command for Hackintosh

Another guide to install OS X on other disk is by Terminal command. Why did I use Terminal eventhough there are some methods to install OS X? Because I can see its progress log and with this way, you will get a "Recovery HD" partition which can be used by system for "Find My Mac" requirement on a Hackintosh include the Wi-Fi network. What do I need? Exactly I need a stable Mac or Custom Mac for install on other disk with this method. If you have Mac, you can use SATA to USB adapter to attach the Internal Hardisk on USB port. But if you use Hackintosh, you just need attach your Hardisk on other SATA port of your motherboard.

1. First, you should have an OS X Mavericks app from App Store in Applications folder.
2. Right click on it from Finder, click Show Package Contents then go to Contents > SharedSupport and mount InstallESD.dmg. 
   
   
   
3. Format your Target Disk by Disk Utility. Create a single partition "GUID Partition Table" (GPT) then format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I give "Tester Drive" partition name to ease you. Click Apply. 
   
   
   
   
4. Launch Terminal and type the next command : sudo installer -verbose -pkg "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg" -tgt /Volumes/"Tester Drive" press Enter, type your password and wait for a while. When you install this OS from Lion or Mountain Lion, you should edit the SystemVersion.plist on /System/Library/CoreServices/ first but don't forget to back to default after this command works.
   
5. Finally you just install the bootloader on your target disk and install additional kext such as FakeSMC and NullCPUpowermanagement. Now your disk ready to use.

Update :
This command works to install Lion, Mountain Lion, or Yosemite. But in Lion or Mountain Lion, you should change /Volumes/OS X into /Volumes/Mac OS X.
