CentOS 8

Hello @StefanS20 Please be informed that CentOS 8 is not currently Supported with Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac, Refer article https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-15-for-mac-system-requirements/ to know the supported the GuestOS.
This is very sad. I just upgraded from version 14 to 15 just because in 14 the installation failed. I assumed this fixed in the latest version. Unfortunately, I couldn't imagine at all that such an important distribution would not be supported. Parallels, this is really a failure - not supporting THE major distro!

Hey Parallels, Its been 2 1/2 months since this question was asked and replied to inadequately. We need to know when Centos 8 will be supported by the tools please.

Parallels, The only reason I paid for the "pro" option was to be able to get rid of physical servers at home however I need support for Centos 8 as I WILL NOT install an older OS. I even opened a support ticket and was told "no plans" that is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Does someone have to hit this company with a clue-by-four?
One use of Parallels is to run recently released OSes in a test environment that you can make mistakes in and start from scratch over and over again without having to ask the infrastructure people to rebuild your ESX VM. I at least don't expect you to support beta releases of even the official release day one. But AFTER 10 MONTHS SINCE THE OFFICIAL RELEASE THERE IS NO EXCUSE. If Parallels had bought a Red Hat license it would be over a year since release.

I bet VMware Fusion does.
Not keeping up with your competitor is the way to lose business. VMware Fusion 11.5 supports CentOS 8.Hello @StefanS20 Please be informed that CentOS 8 is not currently Supported with Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac, Refer article https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-15-for-mac-system-requirements/ to know the supported the GuestOS.

In the meantime, a user has figured out how to fix it when Parallels can't/won't:

Parallels 16 works fine with CentOS 8 (installation date 2020-10-22), although I did have to manually update the VM, reboot, and then manually run:
After doing that I was able to install the tools without issue. This was with kernel 4.18, haven't tried it with a more recent version so you'll probably need to look at the link above to run a 5.x kernel.
Code:
sudo dnf install checkpolicy selinux-policy-devel gcc kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r) make
