How to Install Parallels Tools on Manjaro

Steps required to install Paralells Tools on Manjaro Linux

Install Manjaro Linux on a VM (it's recommended to take a snapshot before installing Parallels Tools)
Update the OS
```
 pacman -Syu
```
Install the latest LTS kernel and kernel headers (See this)

Note: To install the headers, run uname -r and look at the first two numbers to figure out the package name. For example if the output of uname -r is 4.19.32-1-MANJARO the kernel headers package name for your kernel would be linux419-headers.
Install base-devel package group and DKMS
```
 pacman -S base-devel dkms
```

Connect the Parallels Tools image and run the installer script

 mkdir /mnt/cdrom
 mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
 /mnt/cdrom/install

It works!

I had to reboot between installing the packages and running the Parallels Tools installer script - but this worked for me too! Thanks.
