Hello, everyone and welcome back.
Once again as we have seen the installation of
Kali Linux in virtualbox in this
lesson, we are going to see installation of
Kali Linux in VMware.
Now VMware is also a
virtualization software which is similar to
virtualbox. But as virtualbox is
free and open source VMware is
not free or open source. It's in
commercial where software
there are a lot of people or organizations which
use VMware Workstation or VMware
Player as a software in the
organizations. So in this lesson, we
will also see that how you can install ISO of
Linux in VMware.
So the first thing that we are going to do is again, we are
going to search for the ISO file.
So I'm going to go to the official website of Kali dot orc
and here I'm going to download the compatible
version for my system.
I'm going to download the 64-bit Linux ISO.
And then I'm going to use it. If you want any
other specific version you can also download it from
here, which is 32 bit or for Apple
M1.
Now I have started the download. It might
take a few moment as I have already downloaded it.
I'm going to use the previous ISO file.
This is VMware Workstation 16 player.
That is installed in my system. I'm going to provide a
link to this in the resources section as
well. So you will have the download link over
there from which you can install it.
After successful installation, I'm going to create a
new virtual machine. So I'm going to click here.
Next I will say that I'm going
to install the operating system later on.
I'm going to choose Linux and the version as Debian.
So let's find where is Debian? So here it is
Debian. I'm going to choose Debian 10
64-bit and hit next.
You can give any name to the machine that you want as you
can see here. I'm changing the
name to Kali Linux and I'm going to hit next.
This is the disk size. So I'm going to provide 20
GB which is sufficient for
this lesson to install the operating system.
Here if you want you can customize the hardware.
Based on the memory and the hardest
that you want to provide. I'm going to click finish and
I'm going to click on edit virtual machine settings.
Here, I'm going to increase the memory to 4GB
and let's say the processors as
well.
to 3
here you need to provide the iso image
that we have downloaded previously in our last
step.
I'm going to give the path of the ISO.
and hit OK
if you want you can modify any settings
from here. That is for Network Etc.
Now I will click on play which will start my virtual
machine in the VMware Workstation 16 player.
here
These are the options which will allow you to install the
machine. So I'm going to go ahead with the
first one, which is graphical install.
Graphical install allows you the most easiest
and convenient way of installing the
operating system with simple steps.
I'm going to hit enter it will take few seconds
to boot and verify the
ISO file and successfully you'll be given this screen
which allows you to choose your language your
location and the keyboard
type.
I'm going to keep it to default settings and I'm going to hit next.
I have fast forwarded this for you so that
it might take 15 to 30 minutes
for your setup in your system for
the first time.
I'm going to give the host name. Whatever host name you want. I'm
going to give it as hackify.
You can skip the domain name.
In the next step it is going to ask you
a username. I'm going to provide a username and
a password over here. So I'm choosing a simple password
which is root.
The Next Step it will do is ask you to
use the partition disk. I'm going to choose the first option
all files in one partition, which is
recommended for all new users.
I'm going to finish partitioning and write changes to
the disc. I'll choose as yes that yes, I want
to do right changes to the disk and hit next.
This process will start installing the
base system. Now, it will give you that. These are
the softwares which are available for default to
be installed in the Kali Linux.
Yes, I have to install the grub bootloader.
So you have to choose. Yes and provide
Dev SDA path and hit
again next it will take again few more minutes
to finish the installation and you will
see a message like this which will prompt you
saying that the installation has successfully finished rebooting
the system.
And this way you will be able to see your nice beautiful home screen
which confirms that you have successfully installed the
Kali Linux operating system.
Let us log in by using our username and password and this
is the home screen that can be seen which confirms
our installation was successful.
I hope you guys understood how to install Kali Linux
OS into VMware Workstation if
you have any questions or queries and installation,
feel free to ask in the Q&A. Thank
you.
