Virtual Box on Fedora 12
LATEST RELEASE: 3.2.10
This is a step by step tutorial on how to get VirtualBox 3 up and running on Fedora 12. Specifically, this guide was written using the VirtualBox 3.2.10 version and an i386 CPU (32-bit), but should work with all versions. It can be adapted to upcoming versions and different CPUs (64-bit). The folks at VirtualBox have made it easy to install for Fedora users and I’m going to show you how in a few easy steps. Right, open a terminal window and let’s get to it…
Option 1
- Become privileged (root user):
su -
- Get the VirtualBox repo installed:
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo && cp virtualbox.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
- Need to invoke the new repo:
yum clean all yum update
- Install VirtualBox (along with a few other needed packages)! If you’re having issues here, try installing “kernel-PAE-devel” first.
yum install -y VirtualBox-3.2 dkms gcc
- Add yourself to the “vboxusers” group:
usermod -G vboxusers -a <yourusername>
- Run, and enjoy!
