So what do you think the second step of installing Kali from the ISO file is?
That's right.
Installation.
The ISO file for Kali has been downloaded and it's in the downloads folder.
So now I'm going to open VirtualBox.
Click the new button and give your machine a name.
You can choose the folder for VM.
Now it's better to collect VMs in the same location, in my opinion.
That way I stay organized and I certainly recommend you do that as well.
And I'm okay with the default.
Type is Linux.
Okay.
Now we know that Kali is a Debian based Linux distro and we downloaded the 64 bit version.
So choose Linux then the 64 bit version of the latest Debian.
Now I can click continue to move on.
Ram is a one gigabyte by default.
Now, I do want to make Ram three gigabytes here.
And we'll want to create a virtual hard disk now.
So click create.
Here you can change a hard disk file type.
The VDI file format is used when you create a new virtual machine with a new disk.
VirtualBox also supports Vmdk file formats, and that's used by many other virtualization products such
as VMware and VHD file formats that are used by Microsoft.
We can also select the native file format of VirtualBox VDI, and that's the one that I'll be using
for this installation.
So this page is for the type of hard disk.
Now dynamically allocated disks are faster to create, and they'll also grow to larger sizes.
Fixed size disks may be faster to use, but that way they won't grow any larger once they start filling
up.
So let's select the dynamically allocated option and click continue.
So here I want to make the size of a virtual disk.
20GB.
Okay, click.
Continue.
And the start button.
So here we should add the ISO file.
So just click the add button and select the iso file that is well should be in the download folder.
Click, choose and start.
VM boots for the very first time.
In the boot menu, choose one of the install or graphical install options.
I'll.
I'll show you with the graphical install looks like now.
As you see, it's a typical operating system installation.
We need to configure the OS now.
So select the language, location and keyboard configuration.
And now network configuration has been completed successfully.
So I'll set the host name to Kali.
And let's give it a domain name.
I'll just choose the same name and continue.
Also the username and password for the new user.
Because Kelly will not use a root account by default when it started.
Don't need any partitions.
We're only installing Kali Lite as a virtual machine so it can use the entire disk reserved for itself.
Continue.
Keep going with the default options for disk partitioning.
Yes, right.
The changes to discs.
Now the system is being installed.
And just like before, it may take several minutes.
So here Kelly asks for the Http proxy information, but we're not going to need it now, so we can just
leave it blank and continue.
And in this section you can choose the desktop environment that you want to use.
Kali is no longer offering separate images for every desktop environment.
There's just a single image for all of them.
And it can be chosen during installation.
So I will continue with the default option.
ZFS.
It's asking to install the grub boot loader to the master boot record.
Now, this is more meaningful when you install an operating system as a second one on the host.
We're just installing a virtual machine, so it's the only operating system for it.
So yes, install the grub boot loader to the master boot record.
We have only one partition to install grub.
So I select that and continue.
And installation is complete, so it's time to boot into our new system.
Continue.
We are finally at the login screen.
Log in with username and password that you've set.
Welcome to 64 bit Kali installed by the ISO file.
So I want to turn it off for now.
Now let's go to the folder that we chose for installation.
And here is the Kelly File.
