Complete Guide On How To Install Kali Linux In VMware

Written by Lewis Encarnacion
This tutorial will walk you through the difficult process of installing Kali Linux in
VMware Player, a free virtual machine manager that can be downloaded
from www.vmware.com.
This tutorial assumes that you have some basic knowledge of your computer (amount of RAM,
number of processors, etc.)

Step One:
First we need to download Kali from http://kali.org/downloads/. If you have a 64bit capable computer (like me), then you probably will want the 64-bit version of
Kali for performance reasons.

Expand the drop down menus to find the version you need. Select the 64-bit
version ONLY if you have a 64-bit computer.

Step Two:
If you dont have a torrent program, then click on ISO next to the appropriate
version of Kali and select Save when the download notification appears in your
browser and save it to a easy to remember location.

If you do have a torrent program, then I highly recommend using the torrent
option, as it is much faster. Click on Torrent next to the appropriate version of
Kali and Save the .torrent file to an easy to remember/access location.

Now open your Torrent program (I use uTorrent), click Add new torrent, select
the .torrent file, and select the appropriate options to download it.

Now wait for Kali to download, this might take several hours, depending on your
internet speed.
Step Three:
When Kali has finished downloading, open VMware Player and click Create a
new virtual machine.

Step Four:
In the window that opens, select Installer disc image file (iso), browse to the
location of and select the Kali Linux ISO file that you just downloaded.

Once you have selected the file, click Next.

Step Five:
In the next step, select a name for the virtual machine. Im going to name
it Tutorial Kalifor this tutorial. You also need to select a location for it, I
recommend creating a folder called Virtual machines in My Documents. Then
click Next.

Step Six:
Next step, you need to select a maximum size for Kali. I recommend doing at
least 30 GBs as Kali tends to expand over time. After youve entered your
desired value (no less than 20 GB) change the next option to Store virtual disk
as a single file and click Next.

Step Seven:
In the next window, we need to customize some hardware settings, so click on
theCustomize Hardware button.

Step Eight:
You will now be presented with a Hardware window. Select Memory in the left
pane of the window, and slide the slider on the right side to at least 512 MB*.
Since I have 8 GB of RAM on my computer, Im going to put it at 2 GBs (2000
Mbs).
*Note, you should give a virtual machine a maximum of half the RAM installed on your computer.
If your computer has 4 GB of RAM, then the max you want to slide it to is 2 GB. If your computer
has 8 GB, then you can go to a max of 4 GB, etc.

Now highlight Processors in the left pane. This option really depends on your
computer, if you have multiple processors, then you can select two or more. If
you have a regular computer, with two or less, then I suggest leaving this number
at one.

Moving on, click on Network Adapter in the left pane. On the right side, move
the dot to the Bridged (top) option. Now click on the Configure Adapters button.

In the small window that pops up, uncheck all the boxes except for the one next
to your regular network adapter and hit OK.

You can now click on Close at the bottom of the Hardware window and then
click onFinish in the Wizard.

Step Nine:
After you click Finish the window will close and the new virtual machine file will
be added to the VM library. Now all we have to do is start Kali and install it! To do

this, highlight the name of the newly created virtual machine by clicking on it, and
click Play virtual machinein the right pane.

This will start Kali for the first time.

Step 10:
At the boot menu, use the arrow keys to scroll down to Graphical install and hit
enter.

Step 11:

The next screen will ask you to select your preferred language, you can use the
mouse to select this, then click Continue.

Step 12:
On the next screen, select your location and hit Continue.

Itll now ask you for your standard keymap. If you use the standard American
English keyboard, then just click Continue.

Step 14:
Wait until Kali finishes detecting the hardware on your computer. During this, you
might be presented with this screen:

Just hit Continue and select Do not configure the network at this time on the
next screen.

Step 15:
You will now be asked to supply a hostname, which is kind of like a computer
name. You can enter anything you want, or you can just leave it as kali. When
youre done, hitContinue.

Step 16:
Kali will now ask you to enter a password for the root (main) account. Make sure
you can easily remember this password, if you forget it, youll have to reinstall
Kali. Hit Continueafter youve enter and re-entered the password of your choice.

Step 17:
The next step will ask you for your time zone, select it and click Continue.

Step 18:
Wait until Kali detects the disk partitions. When you are presented with the next
step, selectGuided use entire disk. (this is usually the top option) then
click Continue.

The installer will now confirm that you want to use this partition. Hit Continue.

One more question about the partition will appear. Select the option that says All
files in one partition and hit Continue.

Step 19:
Confirm that you want to make these changes by selecting Finish partitioning
and write changes to disk. Then hit Continue.

Step 20:
The last question! Confirm that you really want to make these changes by
moving the dot to Yes and hitting Continue.

Kali will now start installing! Wait until it has completed, this might take upwards
of 30 minutes.

Step 21:
Alright, Kali has finished installing and now you are presented with a window that
asks you about a network mirror. You can just select No and hit Continue.

Step 22:
After a few minutes, the installer will ask you if you want to install GRUB boot
loader. ClickYes and Continue.

Step 23:
The installation should now complete, and youll be shown with the following
notification message:

Click Continue.
Step 24:
After it restarts, and youre shown with the login screen, click on Other

Type the username root in the box and press Enter or click Log In,

On the next screen, type the password that you created earlier, and press Enter
or click Log In again.

Kali should login, and youre done!

If you type the password/username incorrectly, youll get this message:

Just try again, and remember to use the password that you created earlier.

Youve successfully installed Kali Linux in VMware!

You can delete that massive ISO file that you downloaded as well, it isnt
necessary any more. To get the most
functionalityfunctioality out of Kali Linux, I recommend
installing VMware Tools. Follow my tutorial on how to do
that.

Either you didn't set some hardware option(s) correctly, or the .ISO file
is damaged (Which randomly happens with Kali Linux, as it isn't the
most
stable
OS).
Delete that Virtual Machine and create a new one using the same .ISO
and following the tutorial from the start. If you still get the same error,
then delete that .ISO, download a new one, and try again.

This is most likely caused by a defective image of Kali Linux. Redownload the Kali Linux ISO and start from the beginning.
As to the "Configure adapters" option, are you using VMware
Player/Workstation, or some other virtual machine software?

Hi, thank you for this tutorial, it explained me a few steps that were unclear to me. The
only problem that remains, is that the first thing VM asks me right after selecting the
ISO file, is to select the OS, and under Linux, the kali option is not offered, there is
Other, that gives a choice between 32 or 64 bit, that is ok, but I have to choose
between a kernel type between 2.2 , 2.4 , and 2.6. I have no idea which one to input.
Your help would be much appreciated, thanks for your time.

Are you using VMware Player or a paid VMware product, such as
Workstation?

If you're installing in VMware, according to the instructions, then no, it
will not. The reason is because VMware creates its own partition, or
mini hard disk, to put the virtual machine on. It will not be touching the
main partition of your hard disk where all your documents/data are
stored.
