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.
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
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.
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.
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.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
