3. Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation, ensure you have the following: Hardware:

  1. Hardware:
    • An ARM64 device (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4/5).
    • A MicroSD card (16GB minimum, 32GB+ recommended) or an SSD.
    • A card reader connected to a working Linux, macOS, or Windows computer.
  2. Software:
    • The Kali Linux ARM Image (specifically the .tar.xz rootfs, though usually, users download pre-built images which are .img.xz files). Note: Pure rootfs tarballs are usually used by advanced users building custom images. Most users should download the pre-built image for their specific device.
    • BalenaEtcher (Windows/macOS/Linux) or dd / xz utilities (Linux/macOS command line).

Immediate Actions:

  1. Expand filesystem: If you cloned a 5GB tarball onto a 64GB SD card, resize the partition:

    sudo growpart /dev/mmcblk0 2
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

  2. Generate SSH Host Keys: The tarball often removes them for security. Regenerate:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

  3. Set Locale & Keyboard:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

3. Booting and Installing

  • Insert the flashed storage into your device and boot from it. You might need to change your device's boot settings to prioritize the external storage.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions: Once booted into Kali Linux, you can proceed with the installation. The exact steps might vary, but you'll generally want to:
    • Open a terminal.
    • Run the command for the Kali Linux installer: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y kali-installer
    • Follow the installer's prompts.
