It is recommended to choose the first or second disk partition. There is no special requirement for the next step. You can also set the size of each partition by yourself. After you confirm the information, write data to the disk. This step takes a longer time.

Make sure to select Yes, otherwise the system will fail to boot without the boot loader, and then select /dev/sda

 

3) Necessary configurations after installation

3.1 VMware Tools Installation

After the installation will be convenient, with the most is the file interaction with the local physical machine (drag can be)

If the image file has not been removed (you can remove the image file after installing VMware Tools because it is no longer needed), click Install VMware Tools and it will load a virtual DRIVE containing the VMware Tools installation package (***.tar.gz). Copy it to the Home or desktop directory, decompress it, right-click on the terminal to open it, and give it the highest permission to execute its installation program, add -d parameter can always choose the default, do not always press Enter, and finally restart.

Key commands are as follows:

root@kali:~/vmware-tools-distrib#chmod 777 vmware-install.pl
root@kali:~/vmware-tools-distrib#./vmware-install.pl -d
root@kali:~/vmware-tools-distrib#reboot
Copy the code

 

3.2 Kali update source

/etc/apt/sources.list = /etc/apt/sources.list = /etc/apt/sources.list = /etc/apt/sources.list

Update source use official source, otherwise look for domestic

deb mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

deb-src mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

#deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
#deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
Copy the code

 

Install linux-header and open-vM-tools:

apt-get install gcc ``make linux-headers-$(``uname -r)

When vmware Tools fails to be installed, or a message indicating that the installation succeeds, files still cannot be dragged, copied, or cut.

It has been tested that installing Open-VM-Tools instead of VMware Tools can perfectly realize the function of “auto-adapt to the client” (that is, automatically adapt to the resolution of the client and change the window size at will) and copy and paste files between the host and the client.

Linux is all about efficiency, so here’s a quick and easy way to do it

Direct apt-get install open-VM-tools-desktop fuse

Install by default and reboot after completion.
