[[Category:Virtualization]]===[http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox] for Fedora 12 Host===__NOTOC__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 3.2.12 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. There are two options for install: <br /># '''VirtualBox repo:''' If you are selective or do not install Fedora updates, this is not the option for you. It will result in installation of ALL Fedora updates that your HDA requires.<br /># '''VirtualBox RPM:''' This will only install the RPM and any required dependencies or dependency updates your HDA requires. It is much faster and will not force ALL Fedora updates like Option 1. === Install Option 1 (VirtualBox Repo) ===* Become privileged('''root''' user):

# Get * Install the VirtualBox repo installed (you may need to install wget): <nowiki>wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo && cp virtualbox.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/</nowiki>* Enable the new repo: yum clean allyum update* Add dependencies: yum install dkms gcc# * Install VirtualBox (along with a few other needed packages)! .

VirtualBox === Update VirtualBox to Latest Version ===To update VirtualBox to the latest version, you must stop the service:* Become privileged ('''root''' user): su - service vboxwebsrv stop* Depending on the Install Option you used originally will determine how you update.
