Installing Kali Linux 2.0

Download Kali Linux 2.0

There are various ways to install the kali linux OS.

(a)  Download Kali Linux 2.0 image and mount the image to DVD/USB drive and install using this DVD/USB.

(b)   Create Virtual machine on your operating system using tools like Oracle Virtual Box and boot your Virtual machine using kalilinux ISO.

Download Kali Linux image and either burn the ISO to DVD, or prepare a USB stick with Kali Linux Live as the installation medium.

Here is the very first screen you should see when booting your system using this ISO.

From here, click "Graphical Install” option to start the installation process.

Select your preferred language for this operating system installation.

Choose your location from next step.

Specify your keyboard layout from this step.

Set the hostname for your this new installation.

Select a password.

Simple passwords may not work so chose something that has some degree of complexity.

The next prompt asks for your time zone. Modify accordingly and select continue. The next example shows selecting Eastern Standard time.

Select Manual, then click Continue.

1. Create the boot partition

Select Create a new partition, then Click Continue.

Allocate a suitable disk space to it. Any value more than 50 MB is good. More is better. Continue.

If this is the first partition on ths disk, the installer will create it as a Primarypartition, which is just fine. Subsequent partitions will be created as Logicalpartitions, which is just fine, too.

The default is good. Continue.

The partition has been created. Now we need to specify that we want it mounted at /boot. To do that, double-click on the Mount point line. You'll have to do this to change the mount point of any partition.

Select /boot from the list of options.

That's all you need to do for this partition.

Select Done setting up the partition, then click Continue.

2. Create the root partition

Back to the main partitioning window, you should see the new partition you just created and the available free space. Select the latter, then click Continue to create the next partition, which will be for the root partition. Note that this step will have to be repeated to create subsequent partitions.

Continue.

A fresh installation of Kali Linux 1.0.6 takes up more than 9.5 GB of disk space, so assign this partition enough disk space to install the system and also sufficient to account for future growth in disk usage. Continue.

The default is good. Continue.

Continue.

By default, it should be mounted at /, so select Done setting up the partition, then click Continue.

3. Create the partition for /home

After selecting the remaining free space from the main partitioning window, then clicking Continue, you should see this window, which should be familiar to you by now. Select Create a new partition, then click Continue.

Since this partition will be mounted at /home, assign it as much disk space as you have available. Continue.

Continue.

The default settings are good, so select Done setting up the partition, then clickContinue.

4. Create the Swap partition

This will be the last partition. Continue.

On a 64-bit system, 4 GB for Swap is good enough. On a 32-bit system, 2 GB or less is enough. Continue.

Continue.

You need to change the default setting here, so double-click on the "Use as" line as show in above image and select swap area from the list of options in the window that opens.

Select "Done setting up the partition". Continue.

Back to the main partitioning window, you should see all the partitions that you created. Verify that all is well, then select " Finish partitioning and write changes to disk "

Yes. Continue. That's the end for how to create partitions manually for Kali Linux (1.0.6).
