#Can you install kali linux on mac book windows#
I now have access to Windows and Mac desktops, I have a nice Ubuntu server setup and my main machine is Kali running on a late 2011 MacBook. My home network is really coming together now. Overall ease of installation and first use I would give a score of about 7/10.Īfter playing with Kali for about three days now, I am really excited about all the penetration testing tools to learn, but I can’t say the experience is much better or worse really than when I have used the GNOME desktop on other Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora.

Create a partition on the free space you made earlier, and sit back. (the easy part) Now just install Linux as you would on a PC. Once you have the necessary free space reboot with the install media inserted, and boot to it from rEFInd. Not a big deal there, but one more step I had to follow up on. As stated by tjt263 you can either use diskutil in the terminal or the Disk Utility app. Once the new user was created, he wasn’t part of the sudoers file. When I added a new non-root user, I had to log out and log back in before I could see the user even though I was logged in as root. Example, the mouse did not work during the install, but worked fine after. Once I got Kali installed, I noticed a few more odd things.
This time I used Apple’s built in dd terminal utility to create the bootable USB and the install went much smoother. I tried to mount and create the directory manually and move the contents in, but I was unable to get past this point.
You’d think this wouldn’t be a big deal, but a material part of the installation occurs when the contents of the USB drive are mounted and copied into a folder called / cdrom and the installer is “faked” into thinking the data is coming from a CD/DVD rather than a thumb drive. Although I could boot Kali into “live mode” just fine, I could only get about half way into the installation until Kali could not detect my CD-ROM. I messed up a configuration setting on Rufus, though. I used a utility called Rufus to turn the Kali.iso file into a bootable install on an external hard drive. The only real issue I experienced was related to my bootable USB hard drive. This wasn’t a particularly challenging project but it wasn’t easy either. I then manually installed Kali on the remaining unused portion of the hard drive. The frst thing I did was delete unnecessary files on the Mac to free up space and then shrunk the size of the partition using Apple’s built-in Disk Utility. The Parallels Desktop development team has been working tremendously to bring the Parallels Desktop on Mac M1 since Apple has officially launched Mac Air.

I installed Kali Linux on a dualbooted MacBook Pro last week. Answer (1 of 2): To install Kali Linux on Mac M1, first of all, you need to download and install the Parallels Desktop application on your Mac.
