Kali Linux Installer

I download the official Kali Linux installer ISO straight from kali.org so I’m using the latest release (2025.3 in the video). The important part is choosing the Apple Silicon ARM64 installer image so it boots correctly in UTM. Once that ISO is attached, you can run the graphical installer and set up Kali like normal.

Pros

+Official Kali Linux installer from the source (kali.org)
+Apple Silicon ARM64 option works for M1–M5 Macs in UTM
+Graphical installer makes setup straightforward

Cons

-Large download (around 3.6GB) so it can take time
-You need to detach/clear the ISO path after installation to avoid booting back into the installer
