To install Virtualbox 4.3 on Fedora 19; firstly navigate to the directory that contains the *.repo files.
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ |
Then retrieve the file for the Virtualbox repository.
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo |
And update the repository files.
yum update |
Now you should be able to install Virtualbox.
yum install VirtualBox-4.3 |
This is what I got during installation; the speed of the server was slow; but if the download of the RPM file is slow; you can interrupt it with ^C and will continue from where it left off.
