installing kali linux in windows from the app store
After watching this amazing video, i got inspired to install kali linux from the windows app store. Amazing! I was actually watching the news before this and i thought, eh depressing, so ended up watching this and got inspired! Much better than the news... Thanks networkchuck for inspiring me!
Update: Why do guides that takes 5 minutes take me like 30 minutes! Its like those recipe books that say cook this meal in 10 minutes and it takes me 30 or more, maybe im just slow...
Find it in the App Store
I ignored the commands that he added before installing this so i got this error, which is a good start i guess ;)
Ok what do we do with this error, i guess run the following command to fix it.
INSTALL WSL 2
RUN POWERSHELL as administrator
Powershell
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-LinuxThis should give you something like this installer screen
Then you need to also run these commands
Powershell
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
Then you should restart, but ill try without restarting...
Download Linux Kernel: https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel
Yes i know it keeps telling me to restart, but ill see if it works with no restart!
Powershell
Set the default to WSL 2
wsl --set-default-version 2Yep so you do need to reboot, hopefully this will fix the following error..:
Powershell
Check the Version
wsl --list --verboseOk now it works, after the reboot.
Run the above commands and then go back into the windows app store and click on the kali linux again.
INSTALL GUI Desktop
This will allow you to run the kali linux desktop rather than just the command line. Even though command line is cooler...
For some reason i love watching these installation screens.
Powershell
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -ysudo apt install kali-desktop-xfce -yXRDP
Powershell
sudo apt install xrdp -ysudo service xrdp startNow get your ip address by typing ip add and you can remote into kali desktop (yes on windows...) !
Not working for me.. sad. Not sure why i cant remote in yet, maybe i need to restart again? Or its blocked somehow.
Maybe i need to use the old school remote desktop for this or i have the wrong ip address... hmm.
For some reason the new remote desktop app does not work connecting to this, but the older one does.
Ok were in! Nice...

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
