Installation issues on pinebook

Hi there,

I've recently purchased a pinebook which has a Linux distro and I'm having issues installing virtualbox to it. I've tried downloading the correct version (Xenial), trying both through the downloads page on the site and through the command line. Neither works unfortunately. Is this due to compatibility issues or (what I fear is more accurate) am I doing something wrong? That being said, it runs on a 1.2GHz 64-Bit Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 not intel or AMD. Could it be that there isn't a build for this yet?

Any info would be great as it would be super useful to get a VM up and running!

Thanks all!

VirtualBox does not work on ARM. It only works on x86

Thanks for confirming. Thought that might be the case!
