Installing VirtualBox on El Capitan

So I recently updated my mac to OS X 10.11 El Capitan. Some code I was running from school stopped working, and someone suggested I install Virtual Box to emulate a linux distro that will let me run the code.

My problem is during the installation process, when verifying packages I get an "Installation Failed" error not specifying any other reason. I see some people have Virtual Box running on El Capitan (I don't need USB support), but I'm wondering if the OS is the problem, or some other issue.

Don't install the command line tools.

This looks to be related to El Captain's "rootless" feature.
