installation on CentOS 7

Post by kphillips »

I need some very basic guidance for installing VirtualBox on CentOS 7. If it do yum install virtualbox-6.0 I get a message that there is no such package. My upgraded my kernel some time ago to 5.3. I tried compiling from the source code but could not do that either. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried the VirtualBox-for-CentOS-7 download from the Linux Downloads page?

That would actually get you the CentOS-fork of VirtualBox which is not supported in these forums, only the official one is.
