Please make sure you are reading the written instructions to ensure you are properly placing files where they are expected to be! The screenshots are similar enough to use, but will be updated when possible.

Welcome, you'll now learn how to properly unpack and use DarwinOCPkg to build a bootable OpenCore EFI on the previously created Disk image. This page includes information to properly determine what files you will need based on the Mac Pro Model as described earler.
Root of Repository Overview
When you first head to the root of DarwinOCPkg, you will be greeted with a familiar folder structure that of OpenCorePkg. Some things have slightly changed: There is no x86 version of DarwinOCPkg, and the Docs folder contains the ACPI SSDTs in a loose-leaf way. The Sample configuration property list has also been updated to include a Kernel Patch required for Q35 machines running Ventura (13+) or newer. Below is an image of the contents. Be aware this screenshot can be outdated!
Copying EFI folder to Disk Image
Make sure you have two File Explorers open! You'll need to head into DarwinOCPkg/X64/ and drag the EFI/ folder into the root of your previously created OpenCore image.
Docs Folder Contents
You'll need to head into DarwinOCPkg/Docs/ on a File Explorer window. On the following page, you will now begin to configure the actual OpenCore EFI that is now on your Disk. Sections in the next page will require files from this folder. To continue to the next page, make sure you move Sample.plist to the root of your OPENCORE-DISK/EFI/OC and rename it to config.plist.
You are now ready to configure your OpenCore Disk EFI contents. Head to the next page to begin.
