The installation procedure from this point onwards is the same as our Kali Linux Hard Disk install guide.Īfter that is complete, all that is to do a reboot, take out the installation media, and enjoy our Kali Linux & hack the world.
#PUTTING LINUX ON A MAC MAC#
Success depends on the Mac hardware’s model & year.
#PUTTING LINUX ON A MAC WINDOWS#
Power cycle and select Windows (Being Kali Linux non-EFI/BIOS). However, if the installation hangs at this point, We may wish to install rEFInd, as it is a boot manager, and try it again.Įven though Kali Linux is based on Debian, macOS/OS X always detects non-EFI boot media as Windows. This could be because the age of the firmware on the device. If we only see one volume (EFI Boot), then the installation media is not supported for this device. You often see Master Boot Record (MBR) partition tables here. This use on older hardware which uses BIOS. It is common for GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitions to be used. EFI Boot - Newer hardware which support UEFI.When the boot menu appears, if everything works as expected, we should see two volumes:.We may or may not have a Recovery HD depending on our macOS/OS X setup. Immediately press and hold the Option (or Alt) ⌥ key until we see the boot menu (rEFInd if installed, else the default macOS/OS X). To start our installation, make sure we insert our Kali Linux installation medium and power on the device.Note:- Now we will be wiping any existing data on the hard disk, so please backup any important information on the device to an external media. In-built wireless may not work, as firmware-b43-installer is not included in the default images.When using the graphical installer, you may notice the tracepad does not function (but will after Kali Linux is installed).We may be able to increase the chances of booting (especially older hardware and non-EFI) from a USB drive by having rEFInd pre-installed.Different results when trying to boot by using either a CD/DVD or a USB drive.Depending on the Mac hardware model & year, you may find:.Currently running macOS/OS X 10.7 or higher (later versions are more preferred) as this means the hardware is Intel (and not a PowerPC CPU).We have read our single boot Kali Linux install guide, as this has the same Installation Prerequisites (System requirements, setup assumptions and install media).
This guide will make the following assumptions: The identical process has additionally been examined on a Mac E-book Air (Early 2014) utilizing macOS Catalina (10.15). In our instance, we might be putting in Kali Linux on a Mac Mini (Mid 2011) utilizing macOS Excessive Sierra (10.13). Nonetheless, in case you want to hold macOS/OS X, it would be best to discuss with our dual-boot information as an alternative (Dual boot article will come shortly). This information will present you to interchange macOS/OS X with Kali Linux. Installing other OS on the hardware may be not stable as macOS. Apple created the operating system just for their hardware. MacBooks are made to be use with macOS/OSX.
