Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
We checked on the official website https://www.parrotsec.org/download/ and noticed that the Security version is only for amd64 and not arm64 (Which could be the reason why it doesn't seem to install).
Could you please provide us the link of ParrotOS Security Edition arm 64 edition that you have so that we can test on our side?

The only arm version that we found is the Architect Edition (The download button shows the ARM64 version).
The steps to install Architect Editon arm64:
1. Open Parallels Desktop > Click on Parallels Icon on top of the mac menu bar > Select Control Center
2. Click on the "+" sign on the top right corner > choose install windows or another OS > click continue
3. Select choose Manually > select the Download ParrotOS > click Continue > Choose Other Linux > Follow the on Screen instructions.

Thank you.
 
Good evening. I have the same problem when I try to install Parrot OS (architecture, arm64).
In details: everything works until the procedure "Select and install software". In this step the loading bar stop at 9% and it stop working. I tried with graphical installation and standard installation, but nothing changed.
I've also tried to download the .iso again, but nothing changed.
 
I was able to get Parrot OS Security Edition ARM64 running on Parallels (Apple Silicon) by converting the official UTM image.
Parallels doesn't support .utm directly, but the workaround is:
  • Extract the .qcow2 disk from the UTM package
  • Convert it to .vdi using qemu-img
  • Create a blank VM in Parallels
  • Convert the disk to a Parallels .hdd with prl_convert
  • Attach the disk and boot
It's basically converting the disk only, not the VM:

.utm → qcow2 → vdi → hdd → Parallels VM

It boots and works, though you may need to fix networking on first boot due to hardware differences between UTM (QEMU) and Parallels.
