[VirtualBox](https://virtualbox.org) is an x86 virtualization software package developed by Oracle.
## Install kernel headers
## Determine which kernel you are using
For using VirtualBox in either guest or host mode, it is important that you install the correct headers for your kernel,
as Solus support both a `current` and `lts` kernel.

Reboot your system first so that it's all up to date.
Reboot the virtual machine.
### Install the Guest Additions
Now install the **Guest Additions** : from the VirtualBox menu `Devices` -> `Insert Guest Additions CD image...`
On the guest Machine, open `Files` and click on the optical drive icon (CD name starts with VBOXADDITIONS) then click on the `Run Software` button and follow the on screen instructions.

Here is a brief overview on some options you may want to set (you can only do it when your virtual machine is not running).

#### USB Controller
If you have installed the [extension pack](https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing) and your hardware supports it, you set the USB Controller to USB 2.0 or 3.0, in `USB`
Note: Access to USB is granted by the user group `vboxusers` on the **Host** operating system. You can add yourself to this group with the following command:
Note: Access to USB is granted by the user group `vboxusers` on the **Host** operating system. You can add yourself to this group with the following command
``` bash
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers `whoami`
```
#### Shared Folders
You can share folders from the Host to the Guest in `Shared Folders`
**Note:** auto-mounted shared folders are mounted into the `/media` directory, along with the prefix `sf_`. For example, the shared folder `myfiles` would be mounted to `/media/sf_myfiles`. Access to auto-mounted shared folders is only granted to the user group `vboxsf` on the Guest operating system.
