Downloading VirtualBox
Here, you will find links to VirtualBox binaries and its source code.
For a detailed explanation about the differences between VirtualBox and VirtualBox OSE, please take a look at the Editions page.
User manual
The VirtualBox User Manual is included in the VirtualBox release below. If, however, you would like to take a look at it without having to install the whole thing, you can download it in PDF format here:
- User Manual (version 1.5.2, updated 2007-10-18)
You will need a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader to view this file. Most Linux systems will have a PDF reader installed by default.
VirtualBox binaries
The VirtualBox binaries are available free of charge for personal and evaluation use. By downloading from the below links, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth by the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL).
Please note that the package architecture must fit your host operating system architecture. So if you are running a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit capable CPU you have to install the 32-bit version (x86/i386). On the other side you must install the AMD64 version if your host OS is 64-bit!

You will need to install some additional libraries on your Linux system in order to run VirtualBox - in particular, you will need libxalan-c, libxerces-c and version 5 of libstdc++. How to install these will depend on the Linux distribution you are using.
See the changelog for what has changed. Older versions of VirtualBox can be found on this separate page.
