Installing Virtual Box on Ubuntu 24.04

Installing VirtualBox 7.1 from the Package Repository on Ubuntu 24.04

Connecting the Repository and Installing VirtualBox

1.Updating the OS Package Cache and Installing the Required Utility Packages (or Ensuring They Are Already Installed):

sudo apt update

sudo apt install curl wget gnupg2 lsb-release -y

2. Install the required utilities (if not already installed), import the repository keys, and add the repository to the package sources list of our system:

3.Now, you need to update the package cache again, after which you can proceed with installing the virtualization environment:

sudo apt update

4.Install the kernel modules and VirtualBox itself:

sudo apt install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) dkms

sudo apt install virtualbox-7.1 -y

5.Add the current user to the vboxusers group to be able to use VirtualBox with administrative privileges:

sudo usermod -aG vboxusers USER

newgrp vboxusers

6.Download and install the VirtualBox Extension Pack to enable USB support and a range of other useful features in our virtual machines:

7.Next, we use "workarounds" to launch VirtualBox:
