Steps required to install Paralells Tools on Manjaro Linux

Steps

1. Install Manjaro Linux on a VM (it's recommended to take a snapshot before installing Parallels Tools)

2. Update the OS

3. Install the latest LTS kernel and kernel headers (See this)

   Note: To install the headers, run uname -r and look at the first two numbers to figure out the package name. For example if the output of uname -r is 4.19.32-1-MANJARO the kernel headers package name for your kernel would be linux419-headers.

4. Install base-devel package group and DKMS

5. Connect the Parallels Tools image and run the installer script

This is a bit different post because today I am testing the Parallels Desktop on my Hackintosh I just built. I was impressed with the performance of macOS Catalina on my Thinkpad T450 laptop. I try to run Fedora 32 on Parallels. It works pretty well. The installation is pretty straight forward and it is very fast. Compared to VMware, Parallels works better on Mac, I guess.

After installing Fedora 32, the next step is to install the Parallels Tool. This is similar to VMware tool that will improve the graphical performance of the virtual machine. So let’s start.

Step 1. Install the required packages

What Is Parallels Tools

It is important to update Fedora prior to the installation. Also, we need to install some additional packages. Before we install the Parallels Tools on Fedora 32, we need to install the following packages.

• dkms
• make
• elfutils-libelf-devel
• kernel-devel
• selinux-policy-devel

So, execute this command to install all those files at once

Reboot Fedora.

Step 2. Mount the Parallels Tools

Install Parallel Tools Windows 10

Start the Fedora virtual machine on Parallels. And then, from the Parallels menu, go to Actions >> Install Parallels Tools.

Click Continue if you see the above notification. And then switch to Fedora 32 and open the Files. Click Parallels Tools to see its content.

Step 3. Start the installation

As you can see, there are some files in the Parallels Tools. Right-click install-gui and then choose run to start the installation.
