Noah
Noah is a Darwin subsystem for Linux, or "Bash on Ubuntu on Mac OS X". Noah is implemented as a hypervisor that traps linux system calls and translates them into Darwin's system calls. Noah also has an interpreter of ELF files so that binary executables of Linux run directly and flawlessly without any modifications.
Noah is an experimental product. Most Linux apps don't work well due to missing system calls. For the technical details, please refer to its academic paper. Currently, this repository is not actively maintained. It might not run on the latest macOS.
