here I am going to install VirtualBox on Kali Linux host.

import VirtualBox's repositoru key

First of all you need to import VirtualBox's repository key. So, you can run this command in your terminal -

wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

add VirtualBox's repository

Now, we will add VirtualBox's repository to a separate file, so it does not interfere with Kali Linux's main repository.

Kali Linux is based on Debian, so wee need to use Debian's current stable version at the time of writing, it's "buster".

run this command in Kali terminal to add virtualbox's repository -

echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian buster contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list

updating Kali network repository

Now,you need to update network repository, so run command -

sudo apt update

VirtualBox has various kernel modules (e.g. vboxdrv, vboxnetflt abd vboxnetadb), wee need to make sure they are kept up-to-date when Kali's kernel gets updated. This can be archived using dkms.
so run this command -

sudo apt install -y dkms

installing VirtualbBox

now, you can install VirutalBox on your Kali Linux by running this command

sudo apt install -y virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack

when prompted, read and accept the license as you can see in the following pictures -
