    Smile Install VirtualBox

    Hello, I'm trying to install Virtualbox on the latest version of Kali that I downloaded 5 days ago.


    I was able to install Virtualbox with the command
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install virtualbox
    I was able to start VirtualBox with the command
    Code:
    sudo virtualbox
    Code:
    sudo virtualbox
    [sudo] password for kali: 
    WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
             Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
             headers, most likely linux-headers-amd64.
    
    
             You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
