Install OSX Parallels version 10 / 11 tools on Ubuntu server guest

  • Create Ubuntu server instance under Parallels (obviously).

  • Start VM, goto Actions - Install Parallels Tools... to mount the ISO image.

    • Note: if this fails, or updating tools for an existing guest you can do the following:
    • Goto Devices > CD/DVD 1 > Connect Image....
    • Select the following ISO image: /Applications/Parallels Desktop/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso.
    • This will mount the tools CD image.

  • From the terminal, run the following commands:

     $ sudo su
 $ apt-get install gcc make
 $ mkdir -p /media/cdrom
 $ mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
 $ cd /media/cdrom
 $ ./install

  • Follow prompts to install tools.

  • Reboot

  • Host shares should now be mounted in Ubuntu guest via the just installed prltoolsd service, set to start on system boot-up.

  • All done
