How to install Virtual Box 5.1.4 for Linux Mint 18

Hi everyone,

There are two ways to install Virtual Box on your Linux Mint

1. You can edit your sources.list file and you can get the repository files from there.
2. You can download 32bit/64bit .deb packages and you can install with GDebi Package Installer

We'll use the first method in this video.

To do that, first open /etc/apt/sources.list file with your favorite text editor.
I use Atom as text editor, and I'll use it.
sudo atom /etc/apt/sources.list
Type your root password

add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib
Save & Close

Download and register public keys
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

You can use CTRL+SHIFT+V keyboard combination to paste commands in terminal.
Or just right click and click paste,
How is easy ..

To install Virtual Box,
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1

If you dont have dkms package, install it also
sudo apt-get install dkms


Installation is completed.
You go to menu and find Virtual Box
