&: This is a way to save you the time of having to type two commands one after the other. This command will update that list but not install any packages. Your machine needs a list of places to grab the applications you want to download. It’s just easier this way.Īpt-get update: This will update your repositories. Sure, you could go look at man pages to see that information but you could also go to the VMware documentation to read about Shared Folders. I really hate when you find a command and the author doesn’t tell you what each part of the command means. You can accomplish this by updating the package list and installing the newest version of those packages. This is generally just good practice when installing new applications. The first step is to ensure your host is up to date. This normally isn’t the case given that the connection between the host and guest is abstracted by the hypervisor (in this case, VMware). Shared FoldersĪ shared folder is a way to allow the host and guest to share user data. Since Kali isn’t great for file manipulation and “office work”, I need some way to get them on my host machine where Microsoft Office can work its magic. Often times, I find myself wanting to use the results of scans in reports or presentations. I’ll be demonstrating this using my Kali Linux VM (v2020.2) and VMware Workstation Player 15. There might be more, but these are the only two I know about. Whether it’s two-way or one-way sharing, VMware offers two ways to do this. It’s pretty useful to have a mechanism to share information between a virtual machine and its host.
