Answer 2

If you do not want to fool around with manually installing the OS, I advise you to try Vagrant: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/
It will raise a virtual machine of the desired configuration for you. Works with VirtualBox by default, but there is a plugin for working with Parallels Desktop: parallels.github.io/vagrant-parallels
