Gem Version Build Status Code Climate

Vagrant Parallels Provider is a plugin for Vagrant, allowing to manage Parallels Desktop virtual machines on macOS hosts.

Requirements

Note: Only Pro, Business and Enterprise editions of Parallels Desktop for Mac are compatible with this Vagrant provider. Standard edition doesn't have a full command line functionality and can not be used with Vagrant.

Features

The Parallels provider supports all basic Vagrant features, including Shared Folders, Private and Public Networking, Forwarded ports and Vagrant Share.

If you're just getting started with Vagrant, it is highly recommended that you read the official Vagrant documentation first.

Installation

Make sure that you have Parallels Desktop for Mac and Vagrant properly installed. We recommend that you use the latest versions of these products.

Additionally, you'll need the command line software development tools provided as a part of Xcode to be able to build the plugin on your machine. To install these, run this command:

xcode-select --install

You can then install the Parallels provider plugin for Vagrant. Run this command to install it:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-parallels
