Virtualbox not installing on High Sierra [closed]

问题:

When installing Virtualbox via brew cask install virtualbox I get the following error:

==> Satisfying dependencies

When installing it via .dmg package the installer just says that installation failed

In both situations I end up with having Virtualbox installed. But when I start my Vagrant box using vagrant up here's what I get:

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["startvm", "dda26a7b-cc0e-440c-b0db-9b3d3bac5925", "--type", "headless"]

Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'rooxie-vm' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine

Can this be because of High Sierra's new filesystem?

I had the same problem. It's a Mac OS issue. Go to system preferences/Security & Privacy. There Allow Oracle to install software. Retry installing virtual box after that. It worked for me. Good Luck!

EDIT: Start the installation but stop where it lets you choose where the install. Then go to Security in Settings and Allow it...then proceed. – Justin Stanley
