So I am installing Kali Linux right now on virtual box, and it asked whether I wanted to use a mirror, so I clicked yes but then it said Error: Bad Mirror Archive, followed by a bunch of other stuff.

I tried a ton of other mirrors but none worked so I just clicked no where it asked if I wanted to use a mirror. It said that if you click no, things would be very minimal but somebody on another thread said you could just install the updates via terminal but the problem is I have no idea how to do that.

Could somebody walk me through that or direct me to a tutorial?

click on terminal icon (a black square icon with a $ symbol on it)
and type
sudo apt-get update (for packages)
wait untill it complete successfully
sudo apt-get upgrade (for system related updates)
after everything
sudo reboot now
