Hey Friends,
I am in need to virtualize Fedora OS on my MacBook Pro for which I am trying to install VirtualBox.
But after I install it shows that "The installation failed". The attached screenshot can give you a better idea of the error.
I am using a 2018-gen touchID Macbook Pro:
- i5 processor with 8 GB of RAM
- macOS 11 BigSur (20A5354i), public beta
Any solution? Please help.
Cheers,
J.A.R.V.I.S

VirtualBox for macOS Big Sure Betas is not supported yet, since Big Sur isn't officially released yet .J.A.R.V.I.S wrote:Hey Friends,

Which version of VirtualBox did you tried to install ?
The best you can do at the moment is to download the latest VirtualBox Testbuild from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds .
A guy mentioned that he did get it to work on Big Sur (20A5374i) with VirtualBox (6.1.15 r140592) .
To install it properly you should follow the following steps :
0. Boot into Recovery Mode (Command+R) and access Terminal, disable SIP via "csrutil disable"
0.1 [skip if 3] Before installing the test build of VirtualBox, you have to go into System Preferences, Security & Privacy and unlock it so you can make changes (by clicking the lock icon on the bottom left corner and entering your credentials). Leave the security & preferences window open
1. Uninstall VirtualBox using VirtualBox_uninstall.tool
2. Clean install VirtualBox using VirtualBox.pkg
3. [skip if 0.1] At the end of the install, go to System Preferences, Security and Privacy, and the click the allow button
