SuperTuxKart on Mac through Parallels Desktop
If you've been using a Mac for any amount of time after switching from a Windows machine, you've certainly heard of Parallels. Parallels is a virtualization software that allows you to use another operating system withing your native OS. This means that you will have access to a full Windows installation on your Mac.
This is the safest way to run any Windows game on Mac, including SuperTuxKart. Read on for easy to follow instructions on how to run SuperTuxKart on your Mac within minutes.
Here's the best part: you only need to do the setup once. After that, you will be able to install games on your Mac just as easily as you can on a Windows machine.
SuperTuxKart on Mac - how to install
Step 1
Visit the Parallels website and get the latest version of Parallels Desktop.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will ask you to do so).
Step 3
When asked, download and install Windows 10. The download is roughly 5.7GB. At various points in the installation process it will ask you for permission, make sure you grant it.
