Hi,
By checking this box, I acknowledge that I have read and accept the Qlik Sense Desktop License Agreement.
Background
A while back, I jumped ship to Mac, and I am now on a 27″ iMac (5K). After lots of other considerations than checking if Qlik was compatible with Mac, I ended up making the purchase. However, after making the purchase, I was somewhat sad to learn that Qlik Sense Desktop was not a native Mac app. Sure, you can run Qlik Sense Desktop inside an installation of Windows in Parallels or VMware (the guest), but it would be nicer, if you could just browse to Qlik Sense Desktop directly from your Mac (the host).
Local Web Server
When you install and run Qlik Sense Desktop, a local web server is running in the background. That is why you can go to your favorite browser and type localhost:4848/hub (or 127.0.0.1:4848/hub) and expect to see a result. The web server is located on the loopback address, which means it is not exposed outside of the machine in which the server is running (in this case the virtual machine or the guest).
Exposing the Local Web Server to Mac
One way of exposing the local Qlik Sense Desktop web server to Mac is setting up a SSH server on the guest (and in this case I am using Parallels). I assume, you already have Windows installed, next step is to install the SSH server.

- Check your IP address on the guest. Open Command Prompt (cmd) and execute “ipconfig”. The guest’s IPv4 Address is 192.168.0.22
- Now, connect to the newly installed Bitvise SSH Server using Terminal on Mac. Launch “ssh” with the following parameters: “-D 9000” to setup a proxy on Mac on port 9000, and “192.168.0.22” pointing to the Bitvise SSH Server
ssh -D 9000 192.168.0.22
