{{tip|You will need to know what kernel version is being run when installing VirtualBox. To acquire this information, enter the command '''uname -r''' into the terminal.}}
To install VirtualBox, you need to install the packages {{ic|virtualbox}} and {{ic|linux*-virtualbox-host-modules}}. The latter must match the version of the kernel you are running.




To install VirtualBox, enter the following command in the terminal:
To install VirtualBox and automatically install the kernel modules for your installed kernels enter the following command in the terminal:


  sudo pacman -S virtualbox
  pamac install virtualbox $(pacman -Qsq "^linux" | grep "^linux[0-9]*$" | awk '{print $1"-virtualbox-host-modules"}' ORS=' ')
 
 
It will then be necessary to select the appropriate '''VirtualBox Host Module''' to install, depending on the kernel version currently being run. Rather like installing a driver, doing so will ensure that VirtualBox is able to run properly. For example, where running kernel 3.7, the appropriate number would be entered to install the following module:
 
uname -r
 
You will have something like : ''3.7.4-1-MANJARO''. It means that the kernel is ''linux37''. Then install it with
 
sudo pacman -S linux''37''-virtualbox-host-modules
