That's what I was referring to in the first posts. Sorry for the confusion: I got those terminal-looking errors in the jpeg after “inserting” the Guest Additions CD image from the VB Manager's Devices menu and running autorun.sh from the Linux file manager.
If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Linux doesn't quite know what to do with a “vbox-extpack” file. I then came across this thread on MacRumors, same case it seems, but after downloading VirtualBox 4.3.40's Extension Pack from here which gave me “An error has occurred” (instead of the original poster's “Archive type not supported”). It ends up with some errors that I don't understand - attaching the terminal-like result as a zipped screenshot, as I'm not able to put it on the clipboard and as the forum here doesn't seem to accept jpegs. And I don't intend to use the VM for 3D stuff.Īnyway, even if the GUI is much nicer, I'm really stuck trying to install the VBoxGuestAdditions (from the iso CD image downloaded in the Mac), which I think I remember are necessary for the guest and the host to swing properly together. Rerun the installer the same way as before.Īfer the installation completes, VirtualBox will be in your “Applications” folder.After testing, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether it's 16 or 128Mb. Then click “Allow” next to the message that software from “Oracle America, Inc.” was blocked. If you see “The installation failed” screen, then the installer was blocked.Ĭlick on the apple logo in the top left and click “System Preferences”Ĭlick the “Security & and Privacy” optionĬlick the padlock icon to allow you to make changes. When prompted with an authentication screen, enter the username and password for your user and click “Install Software” You can change where you want VirtualBox installed, or leave the default option and click “Install” When you see a prompt like below, click “Continue” You will see a screen like this:ĭouble click on “VirtualBox.pkg” to start the installer dmg file should be downloaded to your “Downloads” folder. Go to VirtualBox’s download page and click “OS X hosts”. VirtualBox runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports a wide array of guest operating systems. Oracle VM VirtualBox is a free application that allows you to run virtual machines (VMs) on your computer through software-based and hardware-assisted x86 virtualization. Please see the workaround at the end of this guide. There is a known problem installing VirtualBox on macOS High Siera. If you need to run VirtualBox VMs for classwork, you can use VirtualBox in our labs or install it on your own computer.
