A lot of my users come to me with questions about virtualizers they have problems like
they can't install them or sometimes they don't run properly there they slow down the VMS are
really slow or they crash all together they can't save information like the configuration files and
stuff like that and sometimes they don't even start right they have problems with network
um I'm talking about virtual box I'm talking about hyper-v for Windows or UTM or even VMware Player
for example they seem to be clunky these tools are clunky and for that reason in this video I'm
going to show you how to install Kali Linux on parallels I've been used in Parallels for
about two years and let me tell you it's an incredible tool it has so many features and
in this video I'm going to show you the proper way of installing it let's get to it foreign
the first thing that we're going to do is go into the perlos website so parallels.com
right so that's the website right here and you can run the free trial they have a 14-day free
trial that you so you can test out the tool and but if you're ready to buy just click on buy and
you'll see different types of licenses so you'll see this one here which is the desktop for 129
Canadian as well as the Pro Edition I have the Pro Edition and I think it's the best and I'll
show you why if I go here into the overview and then scroll all the way down you will see
that the Pro Edition has way more stuff and also more RAM so vram so 128 gigabytes as opposed to
8 gigabytes as well as 32 V CPUs as opposed to four vcpus for the other Edition all four only
thirty dollars more so might as well just get the whole thing right so yeah so parallels the other
thing is that parallels also works with Microsoft Office Internet Explorer access Quicken QuickBooks
visual studio if you are a developer as well as other intensive or graphic intensity programs
like uh CAD so Cad and even even video gaming you can actually play games on perilous which
is fantastic it also works for Windows so it's not just for Mac silicone based chipsets like M1 or M2
or Intel base Max but also it works for Windows 10 and windows 11 so it is pretty pretty cool
all right so once you buy it then what you do is you're going to create an account and in my case
just because I already have the tools I'm going to just sign in to my account here and what you
do is just go into download product files click on it and then download the Parallels Desktop for
Mac version 18. the automatic installer so the DMG here and then what you want to do is actually go
into the parallels toolbox pick list as well and download the parallels toolbox for Mac 6.0 right
here you're going to need it it's very very cool the things that you can do with that those little
that little toolbox alright so now I'm going to get out of here let's suppose I installed this so
you're going to install it and uh then what you're going to see is this two little things in here so
the first one is going to be the tools right so it has so many things right so you have things like
airplane mode alarm archives barcode generators break time and all kinds of stuff in here for
the tools and you also have this thing here and this is your parallels right so if I click on
control center you will see something like this I already have a Kali Linux installation in here
a deviant 10 I mean 11 as well as a Windows 11 in here so I don't need to install it but you
do and then get back and let's get installing Kali Linux to install Kali Linux what you do is
just click on this little plus here and then you'll see it right down here right download
Kali Linux so if I click on it and continue then I'm just going to download this puppy
and of course this is going to take some time so now we just chill and I'll be right back
all right so it looks like it's already installed and now I'm just going to make
this a little bigger so you can see all right so the first thing you're going
to do is set up a password so I'm going to set up a password for this and type it again
like that I must choose a longer password okay okay there you go
perfect and now this is very important this is the actual parallels toolbox being
installed on Cali so you can share different drives so I'm going to type in my password
again like that and then I'm gonna make sure that I'm in sudo so using sudo here's and click ok
all right so it is already installed and I'm going to restart my VM like that
Perfect all right so let me just look back in like that and check this out if I click in here
then I have Dropbox and my Dropbox and iCloud as well being shared from my host VM into my Kali so
if I click on parallels right here and I go into devices and sharing I can also add another folder
so check this out if I choose for example desktop and then I click on open and then click on OK
now if I click on the share folder here on my Kali you'll see that my desktop is already added how
cool is that it's so easy to do it's not even funny all right so there are a few things that
I want to do as well so I'm going to go into my terminal here and you can see that the name is
the username is pearls and then the host name is Kali Linux we're going to change that a little
bit just to customize it a bit so what I want you to do is go into sudosu like that and then
type in your password like that Ctrl L to clear the screen and then I'm going to type in Nano
Etc and then host name like that and I'm going to change this to Kali Ctrl X to save and then
y click enter now I'm going to go into Nano again Etc and then this time I'm going to type in host
and what I want you to do is right here after localhost I want you to do a tab and
then type in Kali like that now Ctrl x y and enter like that now if we do a host name CTL
you'll see that the host name the static host name is Kali and the transient host name so what I have
right now is Kali Linux right so if I kill this terminal and then I open a new terminal you'll see
that it's already changed right so let's power off the computer so sudo system CDL power off
all right there you go
so now it's off right so I can click here on settings and I'm going to change the name to
Kali Linux test right because I'm going to delete it afterward all right I'm going to click on
reclaims disk space right here and this is because you know I only have 500 gigabytes of SSD on my
computer on my apple right so I want to reclaim as much disk as I can then if I click here on options
then I can do a lot of things so like startup automatically or manually I can actually click on
sharing and then share my Maxwell in this case I will share all the information from my desktop so
all my my files and icons from my Mac desktop into my Kali I can change the configuration as well so
for example CPU it's only using two gigabytes of RAM I can change the processors as well as
the memory and all of that stuff the graphics Mouse sharing so uh the network as well so I
have it on shared network which is basically sharing the network with my host or you can have
it as host only so if you want to create a net Network for example inside of your VM you can do
that in terms of security I can actually isolate this VM so which means if I'm downloading viruses
and things like that like malware for example I want to make sure that it's not sharing any
information with my network and I can change the password or I can create a password for
every time I power up the VM and so on it also has a backup feature which is pretty cool you can set
up your time machine to backup your Kali systems automatically which is pretty cool as opposed
to doing a manually for snapshots when you're creating and doing stuff with your Kali system
and now let's create a user right so I click on the terminal in here and I'm going to type in
sudosu my password there you go Ctrl L to clear the screen and add user and I'm gonna name it Dan
like that perfect so create a new password for Dan there you go Dan Duran for my name
and then is the information correct yes Perfect all right so I created a user for this Cali system
but it's only a regular user so I'm going to add them to the sudo group so in order to do
that then you type in user mod and then AG sudo Dan now let's login with Dan so sue Dan
there you go and then LS and you'll see that my desktop and everything is in there so my entire
system let's exit this and let's do system CTL power off now let's start up the system again
all right so now this time around I'm going to click on the pick list choose Dan Duran enter my
password there you go voila so as you can see now I'm logged in with Dan Duran how amazing is that
all right that's it so the last thing I want you to do is of course if you go into your terminal
here then do a sudo Su like that and now let's do an update so app update why I'm also going to
do a aft upgrade like that why and I'm gonna do a dist so apt dist upgrade and why all right so
we are upgrading the entire system because this might be an older version of Cali and you want
to make sure that you get the latest tools and the latest everything for your Kali so guys I hope you
