Kali Linux Installation Requirements


Installing Kali Linux on your computer is an easy process. First, you’ll need
compatible computer hardware. Kali is supported on i386, amd64, and ARM
(both armel and armhf) platforms. The hardware requirements are minimal as
listed below, although better hardware will naturally provide better performance.
The i386 images have a default PAE kernel, so you can run them on systems
with over 4GB of RAM. Download Kali Linux and either burn the ISO to DVD,
or prepare a USB stick with Kali Linux Live as the installation medium. If you do
not have a DVD drive or USB port on your computer, check out the Kali Linux
Network Install.

Installation Prerequisites

 A minimum of 20 GB disk space for the Kali Linux install.

 RAM for i386 and amd64 architectures, minimum: 1GB, recommended:


2GB or more.
 CD-DVD Drive / USB boot support

Preparing for the Installation


1. Download Kali linux.
2. Burn The Kali Linux ISO to DVD or Image Kali Linux Live to USB.
3. Ensure that your computer is set to boot from CD / USB in your BIOS.

Kali Linux Installation Procedure


1. To start your installation, boot with your chosen installation medium. You
should be greeted with the Kali Boot screen. Choose
either Graphical or Text-Mode install. In this example, we chose a GUI
install.
2. Select your preferred language and then your country location. You’ll also
be prompted to configure your keyboard with the appropriate keymap.
3. Specify your geographic location.

4. The installer will copy the image to your hard disk, probe your network
interfaces, and then prompt you to enter a hostname for your system. In
the example below, we’ve entered “kali” as our hostname.
5. You may optionally provide a default domain name for this system to
use.
6. Next, provide a full name for a non-root user for the system.
7. A default user ID will be created, based on the full name you provided.
You can change this if you like.
8. Next, set your time zone.

9. The installer will now probe your disks and offer you four choices. In our
example, we’re using the entire disk on our computer and not configuring
LVM (logical volume manager). Experienced users can use the “Manual”
partitioning method for more granular configuration options.
10. Select the disk to be partitioned.
11. 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”.
12. 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.
13. Configure network mirrors. Kali uses a central repository to
distribute applications. You’ll need to enter any appropriate proxy
information as needed.
NOTE! If you select “NO” in this screen, you will NOT be able to install
packages from Kali repositories.

14. Next, install GRUB.


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