So, I have made a flashable USB. Everything works fine during installation until “Install the system”. I have formatted an entire HDD in order to install Parrot. But every times, it fails on install the system. I tried installing in two computers but both gives me the same error. How do I install now?
Parrot OS security, both amd64 and i386.
Method of install: Debian GTK and standard.
**Configured to multiboot with other systems?: No.
Hi there!! What software did you use for making the USB bootable?
Hello,
I have the error below whilst trying to launch the installer on live…I am on Macbook Pro 2010 model…
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You cant install from a live usb, its a known bug.
Hey man,
Thanks. I also have problem running it from usb installer option, stuck at installing base system. The same usb is working fine for other machine.
hmm, i never worked with any apple product 
after a frustrating evening going through similar hardships, I was able to install ParrotOS 4.1 Home version by booting the live DVD and selecting the GTK Install from the live menu…this was the ONLY option that worked.
Now I just need to figure out what packages need to be installed to bring it up to the full “ParrotOS Security” Distro
sudo apt install parrot-tools-full
This install the tools that in ParrotSec
thanks much for the rapid reply!
I’m having the same problem, so I tried installing the parrot home edition. It’s worked smoothly but when I wanted to install the Parrot-Security tool in my home edition using “Sudo apt install parrot-tools-full” command in the terminal, it downloaded all the tools but then an error popped up saying “Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with - -fix-mixing?” I even tried using this command but I had no luck. I don’t know what to do. Hope that u can reply!
Try:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt install parrot-tools-full
Again no luck…
I just installed parrot full version from the usb live, after many failed attempts. I was often stuck on the failed to install error before it worked.
