How I installed virtualbox 4.3 on CentOS 6.5 x86_64
All of these steps must be done as root unless otherwise specified.
Step 1: Install the EPEL repository
|
|
$rpm–Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
$yum repolist
|
Step 2: Create /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo
It should contain this:
|
|
[virtualbox]
name=Oracle Linux/RHEL/CentOS–$releasever/$basearch–VirtualBox
baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc
|
Step 3: Install the necessary system packages
|
|
yum groupinstall–y‘Development Tools’
yum install–ykernel–devel
yum install–ydkms
|
Step 4: Install VirtualBox
The setup step may take some time.
|
|
yum list|grep–ivirtualbox # list the available choices
yum install VirtualBox–4.3 # choose the most recent one
service vboxdrv setup
|
Step 5: Add users to the vboxusers group
Substitute <your_user_name> with your user name.
|
|
usermod–a–Gvboxusers<your_user_name>
|
Step 6: Run VirtualBox
This can be done as root or as one of the users in vboxusers group.
