How to install kali linux in your pc or laptop step by step guide

Installing Kali Linux on your computer is straightforward and similar to installing
other operating systems. First, you'll need compatible computer hardware. Kali
is supported on i386, amd64, and ARM (both armel and armhf) platforms. The
hardware requirements are shown in the following list, although we suggest
exceeding the minimum amount by at least three times. Kali Linux, in general,
will perform better if it has access to more RAM and is installed on newer machines.
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 a
USB port on your computer, check out the Kali Linux Network Install.

The following is a list of minimum installation requirements:
• A minimum of 8 GB disk space for installing Kali Linux.
• For i386 and amd64 architectures, a minimum of 512MB RAM.
• CD-DVD Drive / USB boot support.
• You will also need an active Internet connection before installation. This
is very important or you will not be able to configure and access repositories
during installation.
1. When you start Kali you will be presented with a Boot Install screen.
You may choose what type of installation (GUI-based or text-based)
you would like to perform.

2. Select the local language preference, country, and
keyboard preferences.

 3. Select a hostname for the Kali Linux host. The default
hostname is Kali

4. Select a password. Simple passwords may not work so
chose something that has some degree of complexity.

5. The next prompt asks for your timezone. Modify accordingly
and select Continue. The next screenshot shows selecting
Eastern standard time.

The installer will ask to set up your partitions. If you are installing Kali on a virtual
image, select Guided Install – Whole Disk. This will destroy all data on the disk
and install Kali Linux. Keep in mind that on a virtual machine, only the virtual disk
is getting destroyed. Advanced users can select manual configurations to customize
partitions. Kali also offers the option of using LVM, logical volume manager. LVM
allows you to manage and resize partitions after installation. In theory, it is supposed
to allow flexibility when storage needs change from initial installation. However,
unless your Kali Linux needs are extremely complex, you most likely will not need to
use it.

6. The last window displays a review of the installation settings. If
everything looks correct, select Yes to continue the process as shown
in the following screenshot:

7. Kali Linux uses central repositories to distribute application
packages. If you would like to install these packages, you need to use
a network mirror. The packages are downloaded via HTTP protocol.
If your network uses a proxy server, you will also need to configure
the proxy settings for you network.

8. Kali will prompt to install GRUB. GRUB is a multi-bootloader that
gives the user the ability to pick and boot up to multiple operating
systems. In almost all cases, you should select to install GRUB. If you
are configuring your system to dual boot, you will want to make
sure GRUB recognizes the other operating systems in order for it to
give users the options to boot into an alternative operating system.
If it does not detect any other operating systems, the machine will
automatically boot into Kali Linux.

9. Congratulations! You have finished installing Kali Linux. You will
want to remove all media (physical or virtual) and select Continue
to reboot your system
