How to Install Kali Linux in VirtualBox (2022.4 Edition)

Hello guys .

In this video , I'm gonna show you how to install Kali Linux version 2022.4 on virtual box .

For those that don't do virtual box .

Virtual box is a tool that allows you to run multiple operating systems on your computer .

So I can run Windows , mac OS and many other operating systems on my computer using virtual box .

Now , the first thing we have to do is download and install virtual box to add to your Chrome browser and then search for virtual box .

So you can see the four speed over here or virtual box .

Now , click on it and by the left , click on downloads , you can see right here .

So click on downloads and it should take you to this page .

Now , you can see this is virtual box for Windows PC which is Windows host this for Mac Os for Linux and many other operating systems .

So click on windows host and it should start downloading .

Now , I already have this downloaded .

So I'm just gonna cancel it .

Now , after downloading the virtual box , we have to download the installation file for Kali Linux 2022.4 .

Now open a new tab and then head to Cali dot org or you can just search for Kali Linux .

Now , you can see the first speech over here been testing and all that which adds to Khali dot org .

So let's open it .

Now , click on download and we are right here .

Now , there are two methods we can use to install Cali Linux .

Now , the first option is to go with the virtual machine which allows you to run Cali Linux directly .

This is a prebuilt virtual machine .

So all you have to do is extract file and then add it to your virtual machine .

And that's all actually .

So if you want to test Cali Linux or you want to just get it up and running immediately , then you can go with this first option .

But if you want to install Cali Linux from scratch , allocate everything by yourself , then you can go with the second option .

Now , I'm going to show both of these methods in this video .

So you should see the time stamp on the screen .

Now , the first method is going with the preview version of Kali Linux for virtual box .

So let's click on virtual machine on our screen over here and it will take you down here and you can see this is virtual box for virtual box , 64 bits .

Now click on it and it should start downloading .

Now , if you don't know if your PC is 32 bit or 64 bits .

You can just go to the start menu and then search for about PC .

Click on about your PC and you are gonna see on the system type 64 bits or 32 bits .

So let's close this now .

Linux is downloading .

I already have it downloaded .

So I'm just gonna close it now .

Let's close the browser now , open your download folder and then double click on virtual box to install .

I already have it installed , but I'm just gonna install again .

That's just an update to it .

So after installing , you should have something like this .

This is your virtual box .

Now , let's open our download folder and then locate the Linux file we downloaded .

You can see 2.67 gig .

Now let's extract this file now to extract this file you can use or any file structure you use .

So I'm just gonna use to extract this file .

OK .

This update was released today is now up to 12 hours .

So this is actually the latest version of Linux at the moment successfully extracted .

Now , you can see a new food created called Kali Linux 2022.4 .

Now let's open the folder , open the FDA and you can see two files over here , a five of three kilobytes and 13 gigabytes .

Now just double click on the file of three kilobytes and it should add Kali Linux to your virtual box .

Now , you can see Kali Linux has been added to our virtual box .

Now , we have to make a few changes to our machine .

So click on settings up here , go to display settings and then enable 3D acceleration down here .

Now , go to system and you can see this is the base memory , which is the ram two by default , it allocated two gigabytes of ram to a virtual machine .

But we are going to increase that to , let's say 4.5 gigabytes .

Now , you shouldn't allocate more than 40% of your ram to your virtual machine to slow down your computer .

I have 16 gig ram on my PC .

So I can run more than six gig to my virtual machine and everything should be OK .

Now , after doing that , go to the processor and then allocate the CPU because you want to allocate to your virtual machine .

Now three should be OK for me since I can run up to it .

So it shouldn't be more than 40% .

Now click on .

OK .

So once we click on start , it should power on Linux .

So just hit enter .

Now you can see we are now on the login page .

That's how easy it is to add it to your virtual box .

Now , the user name and password is all in lower case , let's log in and here we go .

So basically this is how to install the previewed version of Kali Linux on your virtual box .

Now , you can use this for anything .

You can install packages , update Kali Linux and do whatever you want to do with your virtual machine .

And also the story allocated to Kali Linux on this machine is about 80 gigabytes and you can see the free space currently is 61 gigabytes .

This is because this is a prebuilt version of Kali Linux , which has already been installed .

So you don't need to pass through those studios process of installing Kale Linux .

Now you can change your user name , change your password , customize your Linux to whatever way you want to do , if you want to change your user name or password or make modifications to your Linux , check the description of this video , I already made a video covering that .

Now we are done with this installation .

So let me power off my machine .

Then we will go with the second method of installing using the installer .

So now we are done with the first method which is installing with the pre image .

So this is uh Linux .

Now we are going to go with the second method of installing with the installer .

So let's open a browser and then head back to the website dot org .

Now click on download .

Now this time we are not going with virtual machines , we are going with installer images .

So click on it and you can see this is the installer image .

You can see Linux 2022.4 .

Now let's go this 2022.4 .

Now set the version over here to Linux 2.63 point X four point X 64 bits .

Make sure you type is set to Linux .

Now click on next .

So this is the hardware base memory , which is the ram .

So I'm gonna give this 5.9 gigabytes of my Ram .

So you shouldn't give more than 40% of your ram to your virtual machine to slow down your computer .

You can see I have 16 gigabytes .

That's why I'm giving it 5.9 gigabytes and the processor same thing as so I'm gonna give it three CP us and then click on next .

Now this is the size , which is our virtual storage .

So I'm gonna give this about it's nine gigabytes .

Now , you need to give your machine enough space you encounter issues when running it .

So let's click on next and then click on finish .

So we've successfully created a new virtual machine .

Now we have to make a few changes here .

So click on settings up here .

Now go to display and then increase the video memory to 128 megabytes enable through the acceleration by clicking on this button down here .

Now go to storage .

We have to add the ISO five .

Continue .

Now , you can actually make changes to some of these things even after the installation .

Now we are going with guided , which is going to use the entire disc instead of setting up the partition by ourselves .

So let's continue .

And this is a dick .

So make sure it's selected and then continue all files in one petition .

Yes , continue .

We don't want to separate the petitions , finish petitioning and right .

Changes to continue .

So you can see by your right changes to this .

Let a let .

Yes and then continue .

And it has started the installation .

This may take some time , but we just have to wait 2022.4 comes with lots of new packages .

Now we have to select the desktop environment .

You can see X space is the default desktop environment .

This is no and this is KDE .

But we are going to go with X space , which is normally the default environment and then continue .

So we are almost done .

We have to install your boot loader to our primary drive .
