Parallels Desktop for Mac is an extremely excellent virtual machine software running on Mac OS - proven, trusted and widely praised. It allows users to easily, seamlessly run Windows, Linux and other operating systems or applications at the same time under Mac OS X, saving the users' trouble of repeatedly rebooting the computer in order to switch between different OS.

When I was saying that Parallels Desktop is the only best solution of virtual machines on Mac for now, many users might query - so after comparing Parallels Desktop with VMware Fusion, which is the better one? The fact is that: on the same hardware configuration and software application environment, integrating all respects of test results for many times, eventually you will find for the every version, Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion can almost replace each other in most terms, but Parallels Desktop will always make user feel better with a little bit higher performance - of course, the gap is not obvious at all.

Installation Notes

To resolute Gatekeeper issues on macOS Sierra we prepared a script to automatically unlock images and programs (annoying image/application is damaged messages pretending you cannot open things).

In cases you prefer a manual installation the image file in this folder could be used. For that reason you might have to partially or completely disable Gatekeeper checks.

Option I:

For a certain application run in Terminal:

  • sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LockedApp.app
Option II:

To disable checks globally run in Terminal:

  • sudo spctl --master-disable
