Using WINE, Windows applications can be run on computers that use UBUNTU as their operating system which means that WordSmith can be opened and used in a Linux setting.
#USING PARALLELS TO PUT LINUX ON A MAC MAC OS#
(I use it for running different Windows versions.) Both of these have the advantage of keeping Mac OS visible while Windows is running so you can use both at the same time.

Another alternative (free) is Oracle's VirtualBox which I find good. Pierfranca Forchini of the Catholic University of Milan finds VM Fusion (about US$50.00 in the US) works best for her as Windows software like WordSmith works alongside the Mac OS software. That’s done with a single click on the yellow caution triangle that’s seen in the menu bar at right in the image above. 5) To gain access to files on your Mac as well as external drives, it’s a good idea to install the free Parallels Tools for Linux.

While virtualization software like Parallels makes for a good, safe and fast way to build ARM Linux distributions, it is not compatible for the operating systems x86-64. If not, you’ll have to click Next a bunch of times and enter your product key, as is normal for installing Windows. Can Parallels Run Linux On M1 For their Intel-based counterparts (x86-64) it does not matter which Mac’s ARM is supported by. Music: Summer - Bensound Support by RFM - NCM: Ubuntu Linux running in a Parallels Desktop virtual machine on macOS Sierra. If you selected the Express installation, you won’t need to do anything: just watch as Windows installs. This video and the others show WordSmith 8 running under Parallels on a Mac. Parallels lets you use both your Mac and Windows. You need a copy of Windows but can install it on a Mac alongside the Mac operating system.
