Install Virtualbox on Centos
April 22, 2010 Leave a comment
I finally found good working guide of package installation of virtualbox 3.1.x on Centos 5.4 . I would like to share this thing with one who is looking for it. Hope will help.
Step 1:
First we have to get Sun’s public rpm key:
[root@~]# wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc [root@~]# rpm --import sun_vbox.asc [root@~]# rm -f sun_vbox.asc
Step 2:
Now we have to enable the VirtualBox OpenSUSE repository on our system:
[root@~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ [root@~]# wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo
Step 3:
Install VirtualBox 3.1.x
[root@~]# yum install VirtualBox-3.1
Step 4:
Now you must add the user that will run VirtualBox (admin in this example) to the vboxusers group:
[root@~]# /usr/sbin/usermod -G vboxusers admin
VirtualBox is now installed and ready to be used.
To access virtualbox goto Applications->System Tools->Sun VirtualBox
Cheers,
