I booted in recovery mode apple key R , and reinstalled Mac OS. Then I was able to install virtual box and it works fine. I installed 5. So unless you really need the new features provided by the later versions of VirtualBox, using the earlier version is a quick shortcut. Very useful, thanks. Never would have occurred to me to check the security preferences as there is 0 user feedback.
Just Tried The 6. It Actually Installed Perfectly. Seems They Fixed The Installer!!!! For those running Mojave To install VirtualBox, do this:. What is the Allow button is not there? Same for me. Another option is to go to the Security preference panel and set Gatekeeper to allow all apps by disabling it, do this just temporarily while installing and launching VirtualBox for the first time.
Done from Terminal as:. You can also manually add a Gatekeeper exception from the command line on the Mac, which might look something like this:. I tried everything, I disabled gatekeeper, and added exception on my installer which is VirtualBox This solution was found on VirtualBox Oracle forums. Perhaps this will apply to all new apps not from App Store? Where to find the codes for apps at that point… sounds frustrating. This was so easy and straight to the point, cheer!
Name required. Mail will not be published required. Unfortunately, you have to go look for the prompt. Note: This option is available only for roughly 30 minutes after a fresh install of VirtualBox. The installation will now complete successfully.

Network drivers called vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp are also installed. They enable virtual machines to make more use of your computer's network capabilities and are needed for any virtual machine networking beyond the basic NAT mode. Since distributing driver modules separately from the kernel is not something which Linux supports well, the Oracle VM VirtualBox install process creates the modules on the system where they will be used.
This means that you may need to install some software packages from the distribution which are needed for the build process. Required packages may include the following:. Also ensure that all system updates have been installed and that your system is running the most up-to-date kernel for the distribution. The following list includes some details of the required files for some common distributions.
Start by finding the version name of your kernel, using the command uname -r in a terminal. The list assumes that you have not changed too much from the original installation, in particular that you have not installed a different kernel type. With Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions, you must install the correct version of the linux-headers , usually whichever of linux-headers-generic , linux-headers-amd64 , linux-headers-i or linux-headers-ipae best matches the kernel version name.
Also, the linux-kbuild package if it exists. Basic Ubuntu releases should have the correct packages installed by default. On Fedora, Red Hat, Oracle Linux and many other RPM-based systems, the kernel version sometimes has a code of letters or a word close to the end of the version name.
For example 'uek' for the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel or 'default' or 'desktop' for the standard kernels. In this case, the package name is kernel-uek-devel or equivalent. If there is no such code, it is usually kernel-devel. If you suspect that something has gone wrong with module installation, check that your system is set up as described above and try running the following command, as root:. Oracle VM VirtualBox is available in a number of package formats native to various common Linux distributions.
See Section 1. In addition, there is an alternative generic installer. Download the appropriate package for your distribution. The following example assumes that you are installing to a bit Ubuntu Xenial system. Use dpkg to install the Debian package,as follows:. The installer will also try to build kernel modules suitable for the current running kernel.
If the build process is not successful you will be shown a warning and the package will be left unconfigured. You may have to install the appropriate Linux kernel headers, see Section 2. After correcting any problems, run the following command:. If a suitable kernel module was found in the package or the module was successfully built, the installation script will attempt to load that module.
If this fails, please see Section Once Oracle VM VirtualBox has been successfully installed and configured, you can start it by clicking VirtualBox in your Start menu or from the command line.
See Section 2. The installer must be executed as root with either install or uninstall as the first parameter. For example:. Or if you do not have the sudo command available, run the following as root instead:. Either use the OS user management tools or run the following command as root:. The usermod command of some older Linux distributions does not support the -a option, which adds the user to the given group without affecting membership of other groups.
In this case, find out the current group memberships with the groups command and add all these groups in a comma-separated list to the command line after the -G option.
For example: usermod -G group1 , group2 ,vboxusers username. If you cannot use the shell script installer described in Section 2. Run the installer as follows:. This will unpack all the files needed for installation in the directory install under the current directory.
