-: Okay, finally.
We got to the part where we will install our machine
with all the interesting hacking tools that we will use.
Hopefully, you're excited since by the end of this video
you will have your Kali Linux machine
running and ready to use.
Here in our virtual box, in order to start
the process of installation,
we must first select our virtual machine
and then click on this start button right here.
This will start our virtual machine and it'll start
the process of installation of operating system.
Okay, so let me enlarge this.
Even though the screen of the installation
will stay smaller size,
but that is just during the installation, so don't worry.
And right here in the installer menu,
we are interested in two different options
either graphical install or install.
They're pretty much the same,
just graphical install is prettier
so that's why we are going to go with that one.
Click here Enter. (mouse clicks)
The next thing it asks us is to choose the language
and for the purposes of this course,
I will proceed with English
and you can pick whichever language you want.
So just select whichever language you want.
I will select English, and I will click on Continue.
In the location part,
this is only important if you want to have the correct
time zone, correspondent with your country.
And right here it also tells us that these countries
from which we can choose are strictly based on the language
that we picked in the previous steps.
So in case your country is not on the list,
like my isn't, you can go right here on other
and select your country.
If it is on the list, select it and click on Continue.
Now since this really isn't that important step
I will just proceed with the United States,
and here under the configuration of the keyboard,
I will select American English and I will click on Continue.
After setting up our keyboard,
the installation process will configure some stuff
required for our machine to run.
And you'll notice most of the stuff is done automatically,
so we don't need to worry about it too much.
Whenever a certain question pops up,
I will tell you what you need to select to proceed
to the next step of installation.
Okay, so after a few seconds, here is the first question.
Let us read what it wants from us.
So it says, Please enter the hostname for the system.
And the hostname is a single word that identifies
your system to the network.
If you don't know what your hostname should be,
consult your network administrator.
If you're setting up your own home network
you can make something up here.
Okay, so we are not network administrators
therefore, we can just make something up as a hostname.
So let us just go with Kali, why not,
and let us go on Continue.
Domain name, this is something that we want to leave empty
so just delete everything right here
and proceed to the next step.
Okay, so we got set up users and password step.
Now, in the previous versions of Kali Linux,
it usually asked you to set up the password
for the root account.
And unlike for example on Windows,
we got the user accounts and administrator,
on Linux, we got the user accounts and a root account.
What a root account is,
is basically the same as an administrator in Windows
it has elevated privileges, it can execute commands
that user's account cannot execute.
And in this newest version of Kali Linux,
we're required to set up a user account.
So here we got the step where we need to specify
full name for the new user,
and it tells us that specifying our full name
would be a reasonable choice
and if it was any other course instead of a hacking course
I would also tell you to specify your name here.
But I must teach to you also, think like a hacker,
and we hackers want to stay as low key as possible.
So specifying our real name is not an option for us here.
We can just make something up instead.
Let us go with MrHacker.
Why not?
Let's click on Continue,
and the username we can also leave to be MrHacker,
there is nothing really to change here.
Of course, if you want you can specify something
other than MrHacker it is completely up to you.
Just make sure you remember the username,
since you will need it to log into your machine
after the installation.
So I will leave it on MrHacker and click on Continue.
And here is a step where we need to choose a password.
Now, password is the important stuff.
We must make sure we choose a strong password
for any type of account, we create.
Let me tell you one interesting fact.
A lot of blackhat hackers were caught because they had
a weak password.
We are whitehat hackers, but it is still a good practice
to always choose along and strong password.
So let us do it.
I will type mine right here
and reenter the password.
I will type it once again,
you can choose any password that you want,
in case you want to make sure that you typed
what you wanted to type,
you can click right here, Show Password in Clear.
As well as in the second step,
you can also check Show Password in Clear.
And after you choose your password
you can click on Continue.
So here configure the clock, you can select your time zone.
I will go with Eastern.
And here after loading few more additional components,
it should ask us about this partitioning.
Here in the partitioning disc,
we have a few options, and we are interested
in the first one, which is Guided to use entire disc.
We're not really interested in encrypted hard disks
or anything like that so just select use entire disk
and click on Continue.
Here we get a warning that all data on the disc
you select will be erased.
And this right here is a hard disc
that we created in the previous video
when I created my virtual machine.
And you remember that I gave around 30 gigabytes
to my virtual hard disc, so this is that one,
and I will select it and click on Continue.
Here, it gives us some of the options
as to how this can be partitioned.
We will proceed with first option,
which is All files in one partition,
which is also recommended for new users.
Don't worry about these other two options
which mention /home, /var, /tmp.
These are all just standard Linux directories
which we will see shortly after installation.
So just click right here,
All files in one partition, click on Continue.
The final steps are finish partitioning
and write changes to the disc.
We want to click on Continue there as well.
And right here it'll just ask us,
are we sure that we want to write the changes to the disc?
We want to select right here, Yes.
And we want to click on Continue.
So after clicking on Continue,
the installation process will start
and it'll take some time.
It can take possibly around 20 to 30 minutes
maybe even longer,
and it'll also ask us a couple more questions in meantime.
I will fast forward to the first question that pops up
and you just pause the video
until you get to that step of installation.
Okay, so here is the next question.
Configuring the package manager
and it tasks us for the HTTP proxy information.
Leave blank for none and we do want to leave blank.
So we are not going to type anything here
and we're going to click on Continue.
Here in the software selection,
we want to leave all of the check things
and we also want to add the large option.
So leave everything checked that you see right here,
and click right here on large.
What this will do is it'll install additional tools
in our Kali Linux
and we want as many hacking tools installed
with our operating system so we wouldn't have to
waste time install them later on.
So just double check that all of these options are checked.
Desktop Environment, Xfce, these lower three
and the large option as well should be checked.
After you get all of that click on Continue.
And this step of installing software will take some time.
So just go grab a cup of coffee or take some snack
and I will see you in around 20 to 30 minutes.
Okay, so after a long, long installation,
here is another question.
And it asks us, should we install the GRUB boot loader
to the master boot record.
First of all, what does GRUB?
Well, GRUB Boot Loader is a software
that loads Linux kernel.
It is the first software that is started at system boot.
Let us read what it asks us here.
It seems that this new installation
is the only operating system on this computer.
If so, it should be saved to install the GRUB boot loader,
to the master boot record of your first hard drive.
Warning, if the installer failed to detect
another operating system that is present on your computer,
modifying the master boot record will make that
operating system temporarily unbootable,
though GRUB can be manually configured later to boot it.
We want to click here, Yes.
And you might be asking,
"Wait, Alexa. But I'm running other operating systems.
I'm running macOS or Windows."
Don't worry.
Remember, this is a virtual machine.
It doesn't know about your main operating system.
For this virtual machine, this is the only operating system
that is being installed.
So it is safe to select yes and proceed to the next step.
And in here we want to select /dev/SDA
and click on Continue.
This will proceed to finish up our installation
and it might ask us a question or two more,
and then we should be ready to use our Kali Linux machine.
Okay, and this final step says installation complete.
So it is time to boot into your new system.
Make sure to remove the installation media,
so that you boot into the new system
rather than restarting the installation.
Since we don't have an installation media
and this is probably referring to a USB drive
in case you installed an operating system over USB,
and we didn't install it in virtual machine
so we can simply just click on Continue.
This will finish up the installation,
and then it'll reboot our machine and open up
our Kali Linux desktop.
Here it is, our virtual machine
is starting up for the first time.
Finally, here is our login screen to our Kali Linux machine.
Here we want to input the username that we typed in
during the installation.
So in my case, it is MrHacker
and down here you want to input the password that you used
during the installation.
Then you can click on Log In. (mouse clicks)
And here it is, our first hacking machine.
Now, in case you're wondering why is it smaller screen?
Well, to fix that, in most cases you can simply
just do this, lower the screen,
and then enlarge it once again,
and now it should be in full screen mode.
In case this didn't work, don't worry.
In the next video, we're going to perform some of the checks
of our virtual machine to check the internet connection,
whether it is in full screen mode and other things as well.
So don't worry if your machine isn't in full screen mode,
it will be after the next video.
