Installing Parallels Desktop 21

If the host computer is accessing the Internet only via a proxy server, you should configure the

proxy server settings to allow Parallels Desktop to check for available updates during the

installation process. To this effect, begin the Parallels Desktop installation as follows:

1 Launch a terminal, locate the Parallels Desktop installation package, and execute the

following command to start the installation:

sudo ./parallels-desktop-4.0.xxxx.xxxxxx.run -- -p proxy_server_host_name:port

sudo ./parallels-desktop-4.0.xxxx.xxxxxx.run -- -p ip_address:port

where proxy_server_host_name stands for the proxy server host name,

ip_address stands for the proxy server IP address, and port stands for the proxy server

port.

2 Continue the installation as it was described above.

If the proxy-server requires authentication, you will be prompted to enter your name and

password in one of the steps.
