Question
I have installed a new RPM-based Linux virtual machine and now I want to install Parallels Tools in it.
Instructions
-
Go to Terminal in Fedora virtual machine and execute the following commands one by one:
su
(enter root password)
dnf install gcc kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r) make
Important: For Fedora and Redhat Linux we also recommend to install
checkpolicy
andselinux-policy-devel
.dnf install checkpolicy selinux-policy-devel gcc kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r) make
-
Make sure the virtual DVD drive of your Linux virtual machine is empty:
eject /dev/sr0
-
From the top menu bar go to the Actions menu -> (Re)Install Parallels Tools.
-
Click Continue to proceed
-
Execute in Terminal:
mkdir /media/cdrom mount -o exec /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom ./install
- Proceed with Parallels Tools installation. Reboot when finished.
