How to Install VirtualBox on Apple Mac
Introduction:-VirtualBox is a different virtualization program that is accessible for Apple Macs that allows us to run various operating systems concurrently on the device. This software enables IT experts to test their code in various scenarios and explore various environments. The environment offered by VirtualBox is excellent for meeting user needs. The operating systems Windows, Linux, and Solaris that Oracle Corp. released in 2007 are supported and functional with VirtualBox.
Install VirtualBox on Apple Mac
The first step is to download VirtualBox.
Start by going to the Downloads section of the VirtualBox official website. Make sure, to download the macOS-compatible version. Once downloaded, look for the installer file in the Downloads folder (for example, VirtualBox-6.1.26-145957-OSX.dmg).
The second step is to Install VirtualBox
To mount the VirtualBox disc image, double-click the installer package. The VirtualBox icon and an installation package file (like VirtualBox.pkg) will show up in a new Finder window. To begin installing the package, double-click on the file.
The VirtualBox installer's on-screen instructions should be followed. To approve the installation, might need to enter the administrator password. Click "Install" to continue after reviewing the installation parameters. Click "Close" to close the installer after the installation is finished.
The third step is to Grant System Permissions
We can get a security prompt after installation saying that the system extension was prohibited. Open Mac's "Security & Privacy" settings to grant the required permissions. Click the "Allow" button next to the notice that says "Blocked system software" on the "General" tab of the window.
If the "Allow" option isn't working, try clicking it once more after clicking the lock symbol in the bottom-left corner of the window and entering the administrator password. To ensure that VirtualBox on Mac runs properly, you must complete this step.
