-  - FIXME: <code>FIXME</code> +  - **NOTE:** This whole section is done by the **root** User! So open some terminal and enter **''sudo -i''** to become **ROOT**. 
-  - FIXME: <code>FIXME</code> +  - Based on the information from [[https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads]] we need to prepare ''apt'' so it will trust the Oracle packages. Therefor we download their GPG Keys and install them: <code>

 +wget -O- https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc | sudo gpg --yes --output /usr/share/keyrings/oracle-virtualbox-2016.gpg --dearmor
  
 +</code>
 +  - Add Oracle's UBUNTU Jammy (matches Linux Mint 21) online repository to your APT configuration: <code>
 +
 +echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oracle-virtualbox-2016.gpg] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jammy contrib" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/oracle-virtualbox-jammy.list
 +
 +</code>
 +  - Update your APT database and then install the available Virtualbox 7 packages: <code>
 +
 +aptitude update
 +aptitude search virtualbox
 +aptitude install virtualbox-7.0
 +
 +</code>
 +  - If you primary Linux user account wants to use real world USB devices within the Virtualbox environment (most likely!) you also need to make sure that this account has been added to the ''vboxusers'' group first. Else Virtualbox will complain about USB devices on every start: <code>
 +
 +adduser <YourPrimaryVirtualboxUser> vboxusers
 +
 +</code>
 +  - Done all that, close all Terminals and try to start the Virtualbox for the first time **as a normal user**. It should open (empty) but without any error messages.
 +  - Enjoy!
