All right. So we're going to uh get Cali Linux up and going on our system.
We've already downloaded it.
You can see here that I've already got some VM S going forward.
We're just gonna hit new. I'm gonna name it. Call,
we're gonna provide the ISO image. I just need to find it.
I'm gonna go to other and then you can see here that I've got 20 24.1.
That's the newest version. As of this date,
I'm gonna hit open, it automatically fills that it's a Linux running on
buu
I'm gonna hit next.
I need to give it enough ram to operate on.
Usually two gigs is fine. I'm raising mine up to eight.
Not because it needs it because I have more than enough memory and I utilize Kio
Lytic. Pretty uh
pretty, pretty much a lot, right?
So I'm also don't need to do more than one CPU but I am going to give it two.
I hit next.
It's asking for disk space.
Uh 25 Gigs is more than enough for what most people utilize. I however use K
Lakes pretty fluidly. I'm gonna raise mine up to 100.
Actually, I think I'm gonna go up to 200. Do I need that much space? Absolutely not.
I probably will never even go that high.
Uh,
but I like having enough space on my device that I can pretty much do
whatever I want to it and not have to worry about free space after the fact
when I hit next, when you finish
and then I need to go on to settings. When I go into settings, I'm going to do general,
I'm going to do advanced and I'm going to change the clipboard to buy direct.
All this is going to allow me to copy and paste off
my main drive or my main computer system onto my virtual system.
Same with drag and drop.
I'm gonna go down to system,
it's set up for USB tablet right now. I'm going to change that to PS two mouse.
I'm gonna go to storage and verify that the installer is actually there. If it's not,
all you have to do is click this little disk drive right here and find it.
OK? We hit network
is set up as NAT I'm gonna do net network. You can do bridged as well.
I know a lot of people that do bridged.
I prefer net network just because of how much uh virtual machines I utilize.
And then USB if this is the first time you've messed around with Oracle VirtualBox,
I would just disable USB.
Uh If you
boot up for the first time after everything is set up and everything and it just, uh,
it has a black screen just disable the USB.
It should fix your problem.
Once I'm done with that, I'm gonna hit. OK.
And then I'm gonna start the machine up,
you know, a majority of what we're gonna do when we're setting up.
Cali like for the first time
literally is the default.
We're really not going to change that much when it comes into it.
So we'll go through this together and then I'll show you what I'm talking about.
All right,
casing
up, I'm gonna do a graphical install,
get rid of that little window off the side.
I'm doing English,
United States, American English.
It's gonna ask me some other stuff here in a second.
Ask me my hostname. Now, I'm gonna name my hostname, my last name,
Conten,
my name. I'm just gonna use my last name again. You don't have to have one.
You can ask me the full name of the user. I'm just going to use K Kendrick,
then Kendrick and then password for login
now because I'm using this as a lab environment.
I'm only using a four digit password which I use
Tor
Toor. It's spelled backwards,
the original password for Cali a long time ago.
And I just maintain to use it in the lab environment. If I was doing this for a battle
machine,
I, a machine that I was
Cali was its primary operating system. Obviously I wouldn't use
such a weak password. Right.
And again, I'm on Eastern time where I live right now
and,
you know,
and it's gonna start going through the process.
Now, this process coming up here can take a little bit of time.
Um, I've seen it take as long as half an hour, even an hour for some computers,
depending on how fast that computer is.
Uh, it really depends on the base operating system. Just be patient.
Go get a cup of coffee or something.
We're gonna use the guided setup.
We're gonna do the basic
hard disk and this is all in one file. We're gonna do all in one partition
and we're gonna finish partitions
and then it's asking do we want to do this? Yes, we do.
And then we're just gonna go through it.
This is the part I was talking about where it could take literally,
it could take some time.
So be patient with it. Go get some coffee, come back
and when it's done to trade, go.
All right. Once we get to the screen, we're just going to continue.
No, hit that job button first
and let her go to town.
Ok. When it gets to this screen, it's asking, do we want to install the bootloader?
Yes, we do. I'm sorry. The grub bootloader. Yes, we do. We're gonna hit enter
and then we're gonna drop down to the uh
hard disk drive. We're gonna continue and it's gonna go through its process,
then we're gonna hit, continue to start the reboot process
and it's going to reboot for us
the, in
the
Linux
and we're ready to log in. So I'm gonna log in with my user
password.
Right.
Hit, enter. It's gonna ask for the password again.
It's gonna go through,
we're going to hit Y and it's gonna
start upgrading the system and downloading all the,
all the patches basically from everything that this could take a little bit
depending on when you did it compared to when
the last version came out.
Ok?
I'm just gonna tab over to, ok.
Once done, you are free to move on through Cali it is fully upgraded and ready to go.
Thanks. I hope this was helpful.
