CentOS6.3下安装VirtualBox虚拟机

自己在网上找了安装教程，可是貌似我的安装过程没有像教程上说的那么多错误，废话不多说了，直接贴出来

既然要安装VirtualBox，那么没有安装文件的就要先到这里下载了

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

下载自己系统所对应的版本，我的是CentOs6.3,并且是686平台，所以下载了VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_el6-1.i686.rpm

为了方便起见，我切换到root身份进行安装的。

首先VirtualBox需要内核模块的支持，所以系统先安装kernel

[root@xyang ~]# yum install kernel-devel

还有gcc的安装，我的之前装好了的。若安装，与上面类似。

接下来就用rpm来安装了

[root@xyang ~]# rpm -ivh VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_el6-1.i686.rpm
warning: VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_el6-1.i686.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 98ab5139: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
libSDL-1.2.so.0 is needed by VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_el6-1.i686

这里会发现既有警告又有错误，警告先不用理会，错误是依赖的库libSDL没有，所以安装之

[root@xyang ~]# yum install SDL

至此，依赖问题解决，正式安装开始

[root@xyang ~]# rpm -ivh VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_el6-1.i686.rpm

VBox安装过程中系统自动创建了一个“vboxusers”用户组，需要吧用户添加到该组后才能使用VBox。于是添加root用户

[root@xyang ~]# usermod -G vboxusers -a root

建立、并且启动VBox kernel module

安装完成，直接执行，下面的警告可以忽视。见多了就习以为常了

[root@xyang ~]# VirtualBox
