If you are using trusty-tar this will work, otherwise you need to change the word 'trusty' to match the reference the others are using inside the sources.list file. You can install from apt-get or within the software center, however, if you want the latest version you have to get that from Oracle.Īdd the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: Installing Virtualbox Linux: Debian / Ubuntu The FTP contains other virtualization software, clients, and drivers in addition to VirtualBox. You can obtain some versions from the FTP site maintained by the Network Administration of this WiKi. You may be required to register with an email address with Oracle, at no cost. You can download VirtualBox directly from the Oracle VirtualBox web site. Isn't that nice? There are, however, some "enhanced" features that are addons to VirtualBox that are not FOSS (Free Open Source Software.)
Oracle does not care if that use is for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Oracle defines personal use as any situation in which one person installs the software, and only that individual, and their friends and family, use the software. VirtualBox remains fully functional and free to use for personal use. This is because Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in January 2010 and renamed Sun VirtualBox as "Oracle VM VirtualBox". VirtualBox is currently maintained by Oracle company.
This is not a comprehensive list since virtualbox is truly very large in scope and capability.
