Hello, everyone, and welcome once again to this lesson.
So in this lesson, we are going to see if you do not want to install the Kali Linux operating system
from the ISO.
Step by step and you want to skip or save those 30 minutes of cumbersome installation process.
Kali dot org has also provided you readymade files that you can install with your virtual machine set
up.
Now that's amazing.
So in this lesson, we are going to see how to run Kali Linux operating system without going through
the entire installation process and just downloading and configuring the ready made setup for VMware.
So let us quickly go to the official website once again.
So I'm going to type Kali Linux download and here is the official website which is Kali dot org.
Here you can see virtual machines.
So just go over there and from here you can download the compatible version.
So currently in this lesson we are going to see for VMware.
So I'm going to download this setup.
It is going to be a zip file of approximately two GB.
I have already downloaded this, so let me just open it.
Once you have downloaded the zip file, you need to unzip it.
So I'm going to unzip this quickly.
So I'm going to open it up with Winrar and I'm going to extract it.
It will again take a few seconds to extract the complete zip file of VMware for virtual machine.
And this is how it would look like when we will open the folder.
You can see there would be many VMware virtual machine configuration files in this specific folder.
Now let us again start our VMware Workstation player.
And here we are not providing the ISO file this time.
Instead, we are doing the installation from the files that we have downloaded.
So I'm going to go in my download open the same folder that we just downloaded and open the virtual
machine configuration file directly.
You can see it adds a new machine in our home.
You can modify the virtual machine settings from here.
So I'm going to change this to four GB and I'm going to keep everything as it is.
That's it.
Next is I'm going to play the virtual machine, which makes the machine start here.
You can see there's an option of I moved it or I copied it.
Whenever we download any specific virtual machine configuration like this from the website, or if you
copy the virtual machine configuration from one system to another system or any other destination,
you have to choose.
I copied it, so when I click it you can see the boot logo.
The machine has successfully booted.
It asks us for a username password, which I'm going to provide.
Remember, the default username password is Kali.
Kali when you download this virtual machine configuration from the official website.
That's it.
It just saved us a lot of time and not more than 5 minutes.
We have successfully started our Kali Linux machine in VMware Workstation Player.
I hope you guys understood this.
Thank you.
