Here are the instructions from beginning to end to install Custom Recovery, Root and Kali NetHunter on a Nexus 6p. These instructions should work for any Android that is completely unlocked.
Don’t hate me but I did this on Windows, however it is just as easily possible on Kali.
Feel reach to comment on here, or reach out on IG/Twitter if you have trouble/questions.
With that out of the way, let’s jump into it.
BEFORE FLASHING NEWEST ANDROID!
First boot for Nexus 6p, boot into OS, go to Settings/SystemInfo
click on kernel tab 5 times to become developer
Go to Settings/Developer Options
Enable USB-Debugging
Enable OEM Unlock
Shut down phone
Reboot into Bootloader
cd X:\Software\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
.\fastboot.exe oem unlock
.\fastboot.exe reboot
Download Newest Android version on computer(Nexus 6p is Android 7.1.1 as of this tutorial) Link HERE
unzip and copy bootloader-angler-angler-xxx.xxx.img to /platform-tools/
+
Copy radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img to /platform-tools/ as well
Unzip image-angler-xxxx.zip and copy android-info.txt , boot.img , bootloader-anler-angler.xx.xxx.img , cache.img , radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img , system.img , vendor.img , recovery.img to /platform-tools/
Navigate to where AndroidSDK is installed: cd X:\Software\AndroidSDK

.\adb.exe format userdata
.\adb.exe push SuperSu.zip /sdcard/Download/SuperSu.zip
.\adb.exe shell
cd sdcard/Download/
ls –to confirm SuperSU.zip is there

Reboot to System Become developer if needed, make sure SuperSU is an application installed, and turn on USB debugging as well as confirm OEM unlock is there
Download on computer kernel-nethunter-angler-nougat-3.15.4-20170110-1420.zip AND nethunter-generic-arm64-kalifs-full-rolling-3.15.4-20170110-1420.zip
