=== VirtualBox 3.0.8 for Linux ===

'''Note:''' The package architecture has to match the Linux kernel architecture, that is, if you are running a 64-bit kernel, install the appropriate AMD64 package (it does not matter if you have an Intel or an AMD CPU). Mixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not supported. To install !VirtualBox anyway you need to setup a 64-bit chroot environment.

Please choose the appropriate package for your Linux distribution:

The Sun public key for apt-secure can be downloaded [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc here]. You can add this key with
{{{
sudo apt-key add sun_vbox.asc

or combine downloading and registering:

To install !VirtualBox, do
{{{
apt-get install virtualbox-3.0
}}}
Replace `virtualbox-3.0`
 * by `virtualbox` to install !VirtualBox 1.6.6
 * by `virtualbox-2.0` to install !VirtualBox 2.0.12
 * by `virtualbox-2.1` to install !VirtualBox 2.1.4
 * by `virtualbox-2.2` to install !VirtualBox 2.2.4
'''Note:''' Ubuntu users might want to install the '''`dkms`''' package (not available on Debian) to ensure that the !VirtualBox host kernel modules (''vboxdrv'', ''vboxnetflt'' and ''vboxnetadp'') are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next `apt-get upgrade`.

=== RPM-based Linux distributions ===

Starting with !VirtualBox 3.0.8 we provide a yum-style repository for Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE. Furthemore, all .rpm packages are signed. The Sun public key for rpm can be downloaded [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc here]. You can add this key ''(not necessary for yum users, see below!)'' with
{{{
sudo rpm --import sun_vbox.asc
}}}
or combine downloading and registering:
{{{
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | rpm --import -
}}}
The key fingerprint is 
{{{

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (xVM VirtualBox archive signing key) <info@virtualbox.org>
}}}
After importing the public key, the package signature can be checked with
{{{
rpm --checksig PACKAGE_NAME
}}}
''Note that importing the key is not necessary for yum users (Fedora/RHEL/CentOS) when using one of the virtualbox.repo files from below as yum downloads and imports the public key automatically!''

The package signature is checked by yum/zypper as well:
 * Users of Fedora can add [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo the Fedora repo file] to ''/etc/yum.repos.d/'' (11.92 aka ''rawhide'' is currently a link to 12).
 * Users of RHEL can add [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo the RHEL repo file] to ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
 * Users of openSUSE can add the proper repo file for [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/10.3/virtualbox.repo 10.3], [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/10.3/virtualbox.repo 11.0] or [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/10.3/virtualbox.repo 11.1] to ''/etc/zypp/repos.d/''.
'''Note:''' Fedora/Mandriva users might want to install the '''`dkms`''' package (not available on openSUSE) to ensure that the !VirtualBox host kernel modules (''vboxdrv'', ''vboxnetflt'' and ''vboxnetadp'') are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next `apt-get upgrade`.
