How do I install (for example with apt-get install command) the new version of virtual box 5.1.22 (while i have 5.1.18) with command line? What commands do I use?

I would use gdebi for this:

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core

Then you can install any debian installer file with ...

sudo gdebi virtualbox-5.1.22.deb

Advantage: this will also check and install dependencies.

just type command sudo apt install virtualbox and it will upgrade your Virtualbox.also command sudo apt sudo apt upgrade virtualbox will do the same

  • Are you sure? That should ONLY work if he has a PPA with 5.1.22 in it. – Rinzwind May 14 '17 at 13:00
  • i just tried this in my terminal and then post these commands and have just installed Ubuntu mate 16.04 which is very clean with no additional PPA –  May 14 '17 at 13:02
