Installing VirtualBox on Debian 11 Desktop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

VirtualBox 6.1 is the current stable release version of VirtualBox as of this writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways to install VirtualBox:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install VirtualBox using Linux DEB Binary<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install VirtualBox from VirtualBox repository<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Install VirtualBox on Debian 11 using Linux DEB Binary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Download the DEB binary from the VirtualBox downloads page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please note that currently, there is no official DEB binary for Debian 11 bullseye, as of this writing.<\/strong> Hence, we use for Debian 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    wget https:\/\/download.virtualbox.org\/virtualbox\/6.1.26\/virtualbox-6.1_6.1.26-145957~Debian~buster_amd64.deb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Next, run the command below to install the required dependencies;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    wget http:\/\/ftp.br.debian.org\/debian\/pool\/main\/libv\/libvpx\/libvpx5_1.7.0-3+deb10u1_amd64.deb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    apt install .\/libvpx5_1.7.0-3+deb10u1_amd64.deb libsdl-ttf2.0-0 linux-image-$(uname -r)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Next, install VirtualBox on Debian 11;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    apt install .\/virtualbox-6.1_6.1.26-145957~Debian~buster_amd64.deb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Install VirtualBox on Debian 11 from VirtualBox Repositories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    The default Debian 11 repositories do not provide VirtualBox, at least as of this writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    apt-cache policy virtualbox<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    virtualbox:\n  Installed: (none)\n  Candidate: (none)\n  Version table:<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Add VirtualBox Repository<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Also, as of this writing, no official repository for Debian 11 Bullseye. Hence, run the command below to add the sources list for Debian 10 Buster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    echo \"deb [arch=amd64] https:\/\/download.virtualbox.org\/virtualbox\/debian buster contrib\" > \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/virtualbox.list<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Next, install the repository GPG signing keys;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    wget -q https:\/\/www.virtualbox.org\/download\/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | | sudo apt-key add -\nwget -q https:\/\/www.virtualbox.org\/download\/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Run system update<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Ensure your package cache is up-to-date by running the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    apt update<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Install VirtualBox<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    VirtualBox 6.1 can then be installed by running the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    wget http:\/\/ftp.br.debian.org\/debian\/pool\/main\/libv\/libvpx\/libvpx5_1.7.0-3+deb10u1_amd64.deb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    apt install .\/libvpx5_1.7.0-3+deb10u1_amd64.deb libsdl-ttf2.0-0 linux-image-$(uname -r)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    apt install  virtualbox-6.1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Running VirtualBox on Debian 11<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    You can now start using VirtualBox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"Install<\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"Install<\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Uninstall VirtualBox on Debian 11<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    If for some reasons you want to remove VirtualBox, run the command below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    apt remove --purge --auto-remove virtualbox-6.1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
