Kali Linux - Installation failed

Hello all,
I am looking for a career in Linux. So, I am preparing to undergo Linux training in Chennai.  I was trying to install Kali Linux OS yesterday, but it keeps on showing Installation failed error. Has anyone here installed Kali Linux OS? What could've gone wrong? Can you please help me out?

...What could've gone wrong?

A hundred things could have gone wrong. You need to tell us a lot more exact details about the whole procedure you tried. I presume you have looked at the kali documentation.

And I sincerely hope that your career in linux doesn't involve wearing a black hat?

Maybe is not what are you looking for but, did you try with virtualbox?

Re: Kali Linux - Installation failed

It's my impression that Kali is meant to be run as a Live distro from a pendrive. Can you do that?

It's definitely not meant to be an everyday desktop distro. You can learn all about Linux using one of those instead of Kali.

Re: Kali Linux - Installation failed

I have managed to install Kali on quite a few laptops/desktops both full installs and VM guests. As above - I think Kali is a bad idea as a full install distro unless you keep one machine dedicated ONLY to pentesting/hacking used ONLY when pentesting/hacking.

Separate working environment from personal space, especially with Kali.

If you cannot have a separate machine for Kali I would install some kind of Debian (bunsenlabs!) for learning and then Kali in a VM.

I don't have patience or skill to dig deep enough every time system breaks itself or when I break something because of lack of patience and skill.

Re: Kali Linux - Installation failed

how to install Kali Linux

Why not go to the source and get the molst reliable information:
https://www.kali.org/docs/installation/

In any case, all I get on that site is:

You have reached an error page on WPX Hosting.

If you are seeing this page, it is because there is no website installed on this domain yet.

Frankly, I'm a little suspicious.

edit:
Oh, and it's a 2.5 year necrobump, and the poster has the same website in their sidebar.
That confirms my suspicions, but I'll be damned if I ever push that Report button again.
