VirtualBox is a free virtualization solution from Oracle. Recently, VirtualBox 6.0 was released, which is a major update over VirtualBox 5.2. In this article, I will show you how to install VirtualBox 6.0 on Debian. I will be using Debian 9 Stretch for the demonstration. But the procedures shown here should work on Debian 8, and Debian 10 as well. So, let’s get started.

Before you read any further, please enable VT-x/VT-d/AMD-v from the BIOS of your computer. VT-x/VT-d for Intel processors and AMD-v is for AMD processors.
