I installed Debian with Parallels VM in the macBook Pro. I selected the Graphical installation but not it starts as the command line. I entered as root and run the command tasksel that opens this dialogue box,

enter image description here

and, here I would like to installed the Debian desktop environment. In the interface, how many times I press Enter, nothing happens.

As I mentioned, I have a MacBook keyboard and seems the cmd is active then the software selection dialogue box. What to do now?

Seems like you have an ASCII-based GUI there. Just going to an item and hitting Enter/Return won’t work. You have to actually check off that item and then navigate to the <Ok> and click that.

To do that you are going to use the Tab and Space key and then Enter/Return.

Use the Tab key to move up and down the list. Hit Space to select an item and then—when you are done—hit the Tab key until you head down to to that <Ok>, hit Enter/Return and you should be good to go.
