So lets start, please follow the steps carefully to properly accomplish the installation process.

First of all Download and Install Vmware Workstation From the download link. Install Vmware by following the installation instruction then after installation complete follow these steps :-


Step 1.  First create a new virtual machine. Open Virtualbox and go to “Machine” and click on New or hold “CTRL+N”. The below window will pop up. Choose the first option and click Next.  Then Choose second option and choose your Kali Linux ISO image and click Next. Now here Choose the OS type as “Linux” and version as “Debian 6 (64 bit)” ( since I am installing 64bit version.). Click on Next.

 

Step 2.  Now choose the name of your virtual machine. I named it as Kali LInux 1 and click Next. Here allocate atleast 15GB HDD space to used for Kali and click Next and then Finish.

 

Step 3. The virtual machine is now created.  Now it's time to boot into our operating system. Power on this virtual machine.

Step 4.  Here select the option “Install” and hit “Enter”. 

Step 5.  Choose the language as “English” or as applicable and select the location of your choice. I choose “India.” and then choose Keyboard

Step 6.  The system will load some additional components and then prompt you for the hostname. Enter hostname and Activate the “Continue” button.

 

 

 Step 7.  You can choose the domain name if you want. However it is optional. Activate “Continue”

Step 8. Here the system will prompt you to set the root password. Enter the root password and click on “Continue.” and then re-enter your password and activate “Continue.” Then choose time zone and click on “Continue.”

Step 9.  The system will prompt you to partition disks. If you are not sure what to do or a novice, choose “Guide-use entire disk.” option.

Step 10.  Confirm the disk partitioning. Then select the partitioning scheme of your choice. If you are a new user choose the first option as recommended

Step 11. Then you will be given an overview of current settings. Choose the option “Finish partitioning and write changes to disk.” Then Select the option “Yes” to write the changes to disk.

Step 12. The installation of the system will start now. In the middle of the process, you will be prompted if you want to use a network mirror. select “No”.

Step 13.  In the midst of the process, you will get a blue screen for a rather long time. Don’t panic and have patience. The process will continue again by itself. Then system will ask you whether to install the grub loader to MBR. Click “Yes”  and the installation will continue.

Step 14. When the installation is completed, the system will ask you to reboot into the system. click on “Continue”.

Step 15. The system will reboot into the operating system. Enter the username as “root” and the password as configured previously. Now you have a virtual OS. :)
