I usually recommend PearPC for emulating MacOS/OS X operating systems, because PearPC runs pretty smooth for me, and because of the fact that VirtualBox doesn't really like Mac operating systems.
The same way you would install any software; enter the setup wizard in Windows and install PearPC from there

SheepShaver does not run Mac OS X. Use QEMU to run Mac OS X (Since PearPC cannot run Mac OS X 10.0)
Mac OS X 10.0 and later seems to work fine for me in PearPC, I use that hypervisor for all of my Mac emulation needs, like how I use VirtualBox for emulating general OSes, and DOSBox for emulating DOS OSes.
Are you sure it's Mac OS X 10.0 Mac OS 10.1-10.4 can easily run on PearPC, but Mac OS X 10.0 is known to not run in PearPC (Due to lack of certain chipset emulation)
According to the "comparison of platform virtualization software", at the section about PearPC, the guest OS part lists the following operating system families: Mac OS, and OS X. Actually, I found a way it seems to bypass the guest OS compatibility error, like how one time I found a way to install Windows 95 in VirtualBox without a boot floppy. Haha

Qemu apparently can run 10.0
Hmmmm...
Wonder if MAME can handle it...
Indeed, Qemu does the trick. Just tried using v2.11.0 from brew.
Create the disk:
qemu-img create -f raw -o size=2G MacOS10.img
Run the install:
qemu-system-ppc -L openbios-ppc -boot d -M mac99 -m 1024 -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true' -drive file=osx_100_4k78_install.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom -drive file=MacOS10.img,format=raw,media=disk -device adb-mouse -device adb-keyboard
Boot the machine:
qemu-system-ppc -L openbios-ppc -M mac99 -m 1024 -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true' -drive file=MacOS10.img,format=raw,media=disk -device adb-mouse -device adb-keyboard
Nice!! https://s17.postimg.org/nfpjjd1r3/Screen_Shot_2017-12-19_at_1.33.01_AM.png
This better work on SheepShaver...
QEMU has glitchy mouse emulation on Windows 10 (April Update)
@RgamesOffical It only works on QEMU.
I will try it on SheepShaver
and it'll fail. Use SheepShaver.

how do you even install pearpc

He's i think asking about how to use it.
Are you installing on Windows?
If so, please post your QEMU install command?
I use g3beige instead of mac99,the keyboard works now.
It won't install in VirtualBox, you need to use QEMU (PPC).
