How To Install Kali Linux In VMware Player. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Kali Linux in VMware Player, a free virtual machine. Aug 18, 2013 - SMPlayer 0.8.6 has been released with Youtube Playback fixed. With this tutorial, you can always install the latest SMPlayer in Ubuntu & Linux.
You can also install Kali Linux 2018.3 in VMware Player 14, which is free for non commercial use. Please follow my blog to. Step 1 – Download Kali Linux ISO image To install the Kali Linux, we will have to first get the installer ISO image file. You can get it by visiting the official page. Please download the 64 bit or 32 bit image depending on the system you have.
Dont get confused by the many options available such as Kali Linux 64 bit Mate or Kali Linux 64 bit Xfce. They are all the same except for the desktop environment. LXDE, Mate, Xfce are various open source desktop environments. I use Kali Linux 64 bit, but the choice is yours.
It does not really matter. Just remember that Kali Linux 64 bit Light is the minimal distribution which will not contain all the features. You will have to install the tools you want later on. There is also an option to download the VMware image directly. But I prefer to create my own Virtual Machine which has all the tools installed, which this blog is all about. Since the file size is large, around 3 GB, I prefer to download via torrent because it is fast and flexible. Kali Linux Official Download Page Step 2 – Locate the downloaded file You can find the downloaded image file in the downloads folder, if you have not changed the default settings.
The filename would be something like kali-linux-2018.3-amd64.iso. If you have downloaded through torrent, the ISO file will be downloaded in a folder, folder name would be something like kali-linux-2018.3-amd64.iso. Step 3- Open VMWare Workstation Open VMware Workstation from Windows Start menu or from you desktop if you have VMware Workstation icon there.

This is the maximum amount of disk space it will utilize once the Virtual Machine is created. You can leave it to the default but if you are running low on disk space, you can reduce it to 20 GB. This is generally sufficient if you are not planning to install heavy disk using software’s such as Photoshop.
Such software’s reduce the performance of your Virtual Machine if your Computer is not powerful enough. Check Split Virtual Disk into multiple files. This is the default option.
Say if you specify 60 GB, all of 60 GB will not be utilized or say 60 GB will not be blocked at once. These Virtual Disks expand according to the usage with a Maximum size you specifed as the disk capacity. On a fresh install normally it takes 10 GB of space which will grow according to the software’s you install in the VM.

Thanks for breaking it down in a simple and easy to follow format. I have been playing arou d with Kali for a little over a month through a live usb boot and also on my android through vnc. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Thought I would give this a shot and see if it fixes the issues I am having with the other 2 before I just go ahead and run a dual boot install on my machine. Thanks again man.
Be heard but not seen. Power on this virtual Machine This host supports Intel VT-x, but Intel VT-x is disabled. Intel VT-x might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting. (1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable Intel VT-x and disable ‘trusted execution.’ (2) Power-cycle the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed. (3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Workstation.
(4) Update the host’s BIOS/firmware to the latest version. This host does not support “Intel EPT” hardware assisted MMU virtualization. Module ‘CPUIDEarly’ power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine So please help me. Are you connecting to Kali Linux using wifi or Cable. WiFi can be a problem some times.
Connect through cable and check the internet connection in Kali. Open the browser and open some page to see if it loads. Lets check if you have the repository correctly setup. Go to terminal and enter: vi /etc/apt/sources.list Vi editor will open up and show you the contents of the file sources.list.
