In order to explore Parrot OS and Kali Linux, I am looking into hypervisors to run the virtual machines. Oracle VM VirtualBox is free, open source and can be installed in macOS.

Installation

Download VirtualBox
Verify SHA256 checksum shasum -a 256 <file-path>
Install
Open Security Preferences
Allow Software from developer "Oracle America, Inc."
Open Virtual Box

TIL

A Hypervisor is also called Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM). It creates and runs Virtual Machines (VM).
