Kali Linux Installation Procedure

Nerd Cafe | نرد کافه

  1. To start your installation, boot with your chosen installation medium. You should be greeted with the Kali Linux Boot screen. Choose either Graphical install or Install (Text-Mode). In this example, we chose the Graphical install.

If you’re using the live image instead, you will see another mode, Live, which is also the default boot option.

  1. Select your preferred language. This will be used for both the setup process and once you are using Kali Linux.

  1. Specify your geographic location.

  1. Select your keyboard layout.

  1. The setup will now probe your network interfaces, looks for a DHCP service, and then prompt you to enter a hostname for your system. In the example below, we’ve entered kali as our hostname.

  1. You may optionally provide a default domain name for this system to use (values may be pulled in from DHCP or if there is an existing operating systems pre-existing).

  1. Next, create the user account for the system (Full name, username and a strong password).

  1. Next, set your time zone.

  1. The installer will now probe your disks and offer you various choices, depending on the setup.

In our guide, we are using a clean disk, so we have four options to pick from. We will select Guided - the entire disk, as this is the single boot installation for Kali Linux, so we do not want any other operating systems installed, so we are happy to wipe the disk.

  1. Select the disk to be partitioned.

  1. Depending on your needs, you can choose to keep all your files in a single partition - the default - or to have separate partitions for one or more of the top-level directories.

If you’re not sure which you want, you want “All files in one partition”.

  1. Next, you’ll have one last chance to review your disk configuration before the installer makes irreversible changes. After you click Continue, the installer will go to work and you’ll have an almost finished installation.

  1. Kali Linux uses a central repository to distribute applications. You’ll need to enter any appropriate proxy information as needed.

  1. Next you can select which metapackages you would like to install. The default selections will install a standard Kali Linux system and you don’t really have to change anything here.

  1. Next confirm to install the GRUB boot loader.

  1. Select the hard drive to install the GRUB bootloader in (it does not by default select any drive).

  1. Finally, click Continue to reboot into your new Kali Linux installation.
