## Set up Debian backports
This will aid in the installation of VirtualBox.
Add stretch-backports to your system's apt sources with 'main' and 'contrib' entries.
```
echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports.list
```
You may also select a different mirror site from Debian's list at https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
For instance, to instead use Debian's primary United States mirror:
```
echo "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports.list
```
Update your local package index
```
sudo apt update
```

# Install VirtualBox
Virtualbox is the configured VM provider in this project's Vagrantfile.
Add Oracle's VirtualBox apt repository to your system's apt sources:
```
sudo apt install virtualbox
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -sc) contrib"
```
Most recently tested 2019-02-13 with the following virtualbox release:
Verify that the source was added:
```
$ grep -iR virtualbox /etc/apt/sources.list*
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch contrib
/etc/apt/sources.list:# deb-src http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch contrib
```
Download and register the public gpg key used by Oracle to secure the above
repository:
```
$ wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
OK
```
Verify that the key was added
```
$ apt-key list "B9F8 D658 297A F3EF C18D 5CDF A2F6 83C5 2980 AECF"
pub rsa4096 2016-04-22 [SC]
B9F8 D658 297A F3EF C18D 5CDF A2F6 83C5 2980 AECF
uid [ unknown] Oracle Corporation (VirtualBox archive signing key) <info@virtualbox.org>
sub rsa4096 2016-04-22 [E]
```
Update your local apt package metadata
```
$ sudo apt update

```
