Installing KVM on Kali Linux Latest
In this tutorial, we will be going through the process of installing KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) on Kali Linux. KVM is a powerful virtualization solution and we will be installing it from the http://www.linux-kvm.org website.
Prerequisites
- Kali Linux latest version should be installed and up-to-date
- You should have sudo access
Step 1: Update Kali Linux
Before installing KVM, it's a good idea to update Kali Linux so that all packages are up to date. Open up a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Step 2: Install KVM
Now that Kali Linux is up to date, we can proceed with installing KVM. In the terminal, run the following command:
sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virt-manager
During the installation process, you will be prompted to confirm the installation. Type 'y' and hit Enter to proceed.
Step 3: Verify the Installation
Once the installation is complete, we need to verify that KVM is installed successfully. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo virsh list --all
If the installation was successful, you should see a message showing the name of the default virtual machine.
Step 4: Create a Virtual Machine
Now let's create a virtual machine. Open the virtual machine manager by typing the following command in the terminal:
sudo virt-manager
Click on the 'Create a new virtual machine' button and follow the prompts to create your virtual machine.
That's it! You have successfully installed KVM on Kali Linux and created a virtual machine.
