Hello everyone and welcome
once again to this lesson.
So in this lesson we are going to see if you
do not want to install the Kali Linux
operating system from the iso step
by step and you want to skip or save those
30 minutes of cumbersome installation
process kali.org has
also provided you ready made files
that you can install with your virtual machine setup.
Now that's amazing. So in
this lesson, we are going to see how to run
Kali Linux operating system without going
through the entire installation process and
just downloading and configuring the
ready-made setup for VMware.
So let us quickly go to the official
website once again.
So I'm going to type Kali Linux download and here
is the official website, which is kali.org.
Here you can see virtual machines. So just
go over there and from here you can download
the compatible version So currently in this
lesson, we are going to see for VMware. So I'm going to download this
setup. It is going to be a zip file
of approximately 2GB. I have
already downloaded this. So let me just open it.
Once you have downloaded the zip file you need
to unzip it. So I'm going to unzip this quickly. So
I'm going to open it up with WinRAR and I'm going to extract it.
It will again take few seconds to extract the
complete ZIP file of VMware for
virtual machine. And this is how it would look like
When we will open the folder you can see there would
be many VMware virtual machine
configuration files in this specific folder.
Now let us again start our VMware Workstation
player.
And here we are not providing the ISO file
this time instead. We are doing the installation
from the files that we have downloaded. So
I'm going to go in my downloads open the same
folder that we just downloaded and open the
virtual machine configuration file directly.
You can see it adds a new machine in
our home. You can modify the virtual
machine settings from here. So I'm
going to change this to 4GB and I'm
going to keep everything as it is. That's it.
Next is I'm going to play the virtual machine which makes
the machine start here. You
can see there's an option of I moved it or
I copied it whenever we download any specific
virtual machine configuration like this from
the website or if you copy the virtual machine
configuration from one system to another system or
any other destination. You have
to choose I copied it.
So when I click it, you can see the boot
logo. The machine has successfully booted. It
asks us for username password,
which I'm going to provide remember the default username
password is Kali Kali when you
download this virtual machine configuration from the official
website.
That's it. It just saved us a lot
of time and not more than five minutes. We are
successfully started our Kali Linux machine in
VMware Workstation player.
I hope you guys understood this. Thank you.
