KaliVM-Setup

My files and scripts for setting up my KaliVM how I like it.

Steps

1. Download the zip archive of the files
2. Extract the zip archive
3. Execute stage 1 script stage1.sh by using this command sudo bash ./stage1.sh
4. Execute stage 2 script stage2.sh by using this command bash ./stage2.sh
5. Execute stage 3 script stage3.sh by using this command bash ./stage3.sh
6. Execute stage 4 script stage4.sh by using this command bash ./stage4.sh
7. Execute stage 5 script stage5.sh by using this command bash ./stage5.sh
8. Add the aliases / additions and zsh plugins lines to the existing .zshrc file

NOTE See here to install the zsh plugins like syntax-highlighting with ohmyzsh: https://gist.github.com/n1snt/454b879b8f0b7995740ae04c5fb5b7df
