5.1.4 is not the latest version. Do you mean 5.1.14?

And be sure not to install the version from Fedora's package manager. They grab the Fedora's, forked version of VirtualBox which is not supported here. You should instead download the official VirtualBox distribution from: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
