在Linux系统里安装Virtual Box的详细步骤

今天我试图在Linux 服务器上安装Kyma时，遇到如下错误消息：

E1009 23:51:37.685891 358 start.go:174] Error starting host: Error creating host: Error executing step: Running precreate checks.

VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path.

Retrying.

按照提示，我需要先安装Virtual Box。

VirtualBox 是一款开源虚拟机软件。VirtualBox 是由德国 Innotek 公司开发，由Sun Microsystems公司出品的软件，使用Qt编写，在 Sun 被 Oracle 收购后正式更名成 Oracle VM VirtualBox。Innotek 以 GNU General Public License (GPL) 释出 VirtualBox，并提供二进制版本及 OSE 版本的代码。使用者可以在VirtualBox上安装并且执行Solaris、Windows、DOS、Linux、OS/2 Warp、BSD等系统作为客户端操作系统。现在则由甲骨文公司进行开发，是甲骨文公司xVM虚拟化平台技术的一部份。

这个url提供Virtual Box的安装：

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

进入之后，根据Linux不同类型下载对应的安装包：

因为我用的是Oracle RHEL，所以使用RPM-based Linux distributions区域的安装指令：

1. 首先下载oracle_vbox.asc文件到本地：

wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc

再执行import：

sudo rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc

2. cd 进入目录：/etc/yum.repos.d

新建一个文件virtualbox.repo, 输入如下内容：

1 [virtualbox]

2 name=Oracle Linux / RHEL / CentOS-$releasever / $basearch - VirtualBox

3 baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/$releasever/$basearch

4 enabled=1

5 gpgcheck=1

6 repo_gpgcheck=1

7 gpgkey=https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc

然后执行命令行yum install VirtualBox-5.2:

打印出的Fingerprint和网站上的一致：7B0F AB3A 13B9 0743 5925 D9C9 5442 2A4B 98AB 5139

选择Y：

yum处理并下载依赖：

依赖分析计算结果：有超过25个依赖包需要下载，总共需要下载80M，安装大小182M。选择Y继续：

Retrieving key from https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc

Importing GPG key 0x98AB5139:

Userid : "Oracle Corporation (VirtualBox archive signing key) info@virtualbox.org"

Fingerprint: 7b0f ab3a 13b9 0743 5925 d9c9 5442 2a4b 98ab 5139
