[VirtualBox](https://virtualbox.org) is an x86 virtualization software package developed by Sun Microsystems.
## Install kernel headers
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.
If you aren't sure which kernel you
are running, run the following in terminal:
``` bash
uname -r
```
You will either have a `.current` or `.lts` suffix. Example: `4.12.7-11.current`
If you have an lts kernel, install the lts headers:
``` bash
sudo eopkg install linux-lts-headers
```
If you have a current kernel, installing the current headers:
``` bash
sudo eopkg install linux-current-headers
```
Now proceed for setting up Solus as Guest or Host.
## Solus as Guest
Make sure you have the necessary packages installed:
Make sure you have the necessary core packages installed:
``` bash
sudo eopkg upgrade
sudo eopkg install gcc make autoconf binutils linux-lts-headers xorg-server-devel
sudo eopkg install gcc make autoconf binutils xorg-server-devel
```
Reboot your system first so that it's all up to date.
Now, download the [Guest Additions](http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/) as an `.iso` file and mount it from VirtualBox's menu. Then in the guest machine do the following (this will also reboot your system):
