wget -O- https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes --output /usr/share/keyrings/oracle-virtualbox-2016.gpg
Add VirtualBox Repo to Ubuntu 22.04
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oracle-virtualbox-2016.gpg] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -cs) contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
Run System Update
sudo apt update
Check the output of the following command, and look for … download.virtualbox …
If everything is correct, you should find a line in the output containing a string like the one I have made in bold.
Install VirtualBoxsudo apt install virtualbox-7.0
Install VirtualBox Extension Pack. To verify the exact version of the installed locally VirtualBox, you can use vboxmanage, a build-in VirtualBox’s command:vboxmanage -v | cut -dr -f1
You must then download the Extension Pack with the same version.
wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.6/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.0.6.vbox-extpack
Install the extension
sudo vboxmanage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.0.6.vbox-extpack
verify the installed VirtualBox’s extension pack version by running the following:
vboxmanage list extpacks
Add User to vboxusers Group
sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER
Now perform a reboot. After login, check that you are in the vboxusers group with this command:
groups $USER
