To force macOS to let us install VirtualBox, we’ll need to use Terminal to open up our security preferences temporarily: Do not click install (yet)ĭone! If the message and the Allow button still didn’t appear, we’ll have to resort to drastic measures with solution #3: Solution #3 - Force macOS to let us install VirtualBox
Go through the installer until you get to the screen with the Change Install Location… and Install buttons. Sometimes macOS needs a good restart before deciding to show the Allow button. If only it were always this simple… If the Allow button didn’t come up for you, try out the next one. If you do see the message, click the lock icon in the bottom left of the windowĭone! Now open up the VirtualBox installer again and it should work fine. Hopefully you’ll see a message saying System software from developer “Oracle America, Inc.” was blocked from loading. If you’re lucky, this solution will work first time. If you get the same error, try solution 1. Click App store and identified developers.
Click the lock icon in the bottom left of the window. I recommend Jamie Bainbridge's advice above.Make sure ‘App store and identified developers’ is checked VMware products are obviously made by VMware, and it is best to address VMware product concerns with VMware, perhaps in their forums. People can certainly reply to this thread, however, Red Hat does not maintain Oracle VirtualBox. Please let Oracle know your request for update.
It is up to Oracle to decide to dedicate time/resources etc to make VirtualBox work with non-intel Apple hardware. Note: Virtualbox is made by Oracle (originally Sun Microsystems, which Oracle bought a long while ago). For VMware products, see VMware discussions it seems they intend at some point to make it work with non-intel apple hardware also see this please consult the VMware community and website.Oracle Virtualbox discussion forum for Mac OSX.Please see this article saying why non-intel macs cannot currently run Virtualbox.
Please see replies by Oracle Virtualbox forums.
