OSX 10.12 or greater is required.
When using TinFoil it is advised to use @satelliteseeker's build found here. Other versions may work but I wouldn't expect it to.
As of 0.4, GoldLeaf's USB installs can be inconsistent. Any issues submitted regarding GoldLeaf installs will be ignored until GoldLeaf 0.5 is released.
