# NEVER do this for Parallels:
vagrant box add myname file.box    # FAILS for Parallels!

# CORRECT method:

# 1. Create metadata.json inside box
echo '{"provider":"parallels"}' > metadata.json

# 2. Create Vagrantfile inside box
echo 'Vagrant.configure("2") do |c|; end' > Vagrantfile

# 3. Package: metadata.json + Vagrantfile + .pvm folder
tar -czf myoel8.box metadata.json Vagrantfile MyVM.pvm/

# 4. Create box-metadata.json (for vagrant box add)
cat > box-meta.json << EOF
