Kali Linux Installation Procedure
Boot

1. To start your installation, boot with your chosen installation medium. You
should be greeted with the Kali Linux Boot screen.
2. Choose either Graphical install or Install (Text-Mode). We will be using
Graphical install.

Language

2. Select your preferred language. This will be used for both the setup process
and once you are using Kali Linux.
3. Specify your geographic location.
4. Select your keyboard layout.
Network

5. The setup will now probe your network interfaces, looks for a DHCP service,
and then prompt you to enter a hostname for your system. In the example
below, we’ve entered kali as our hostname.
6. You may optionally provide a default domain name for this system to use.

User Accounts

7. Next, create the user account for the system (Full name, username and a
strong password).

9. The installer will now probe your disks and offer you various choices,
depending on the setup.

installer makes irreversible changes. After you click Continue, the installer will
go to work and you’ll have an almost finished installation.
