guest Add-ons.

After install, if the users want to, they can change the location of this default Anka install location link manually.
Execute sudo mv /usr/local/bin/anka /to/any/other/location/

If you are not able to upgrade the guest add-ons tool using the anka start -u vmname
command, then you have a very old version of guest addon tools on your VM. You will first need to manually update them. Contact Veertu support.

From the command line, execute the following command. Make sure all your VMs are stopped.
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Veertu/Anka/tools/uninstall.sh
