What You’ll NeedĪ verified copy of the appropriate ISO image of the latest Kali build image for the system you’ll be running it on: see the details on downloading official Kali Linux images. In order to do this, we first need to create a bootable USB drive which has been set up from an ISO image of Kali Linux.

It’s potentially persistent - with a bit of extra effort, you can configure your Kali Linux “live” USB drive to have persistent storage, so the data you collect is saved across reboots.

It’s customizable - you can roll your own custom Kali Linux ISO image and put it onto a USB drive using the same procedures.

It’s portable - you can carry Kali Linux in your pocket and have it running in minutes on an available system.

It’s non-destructive - it makes no changes to the host system’s hard drive or installed OS, and to go back to normal operations, you simply remove the “Kali Live” USB drive and restart the system.

You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.Our favourite way, and the fastest method, for getting up and running with Kali Linux is to run it “live” from a USB drive.

When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Monterey.

After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume.

Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased.

When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return.

Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type.

When prompted, type your administrator password.If the volume has a different name, replace MyVolume in the command with the name of your volume.

Each command assumes that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. Type or paste one of the commands below into Terminal, then press Return to enter the command.Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.Plug in the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
