If you're using VirtualBox on your system, follow these steps to verify that it's installed correctly and ready to use:
✅ Step 1: Check VirtualBox Version
Open a terminal or command prompt and run:
virtualbox --help
This will display the installed version (e.g., VirtualBox 7.0.6 r153415 (Qt Version 6.5.3)).
🧪 Step 2: Validate Installation
Look for the VirtualBox Manager icon in your system's application menu. If it appears, the installation is likely successful.
For Windows users, check the Start Menu for the VirtualBox shortcut.
🚀 Step 3: Run a Test Virtual Machine
- Create a new VM using the VirtualBox Quick Start Guide
- Start the VM and ensure it boots properly
- Verify the guest additions are working (e.g., shared folders, guest controls)
