Latest VirtualBox 5.1.20 requires acceptance of license terms

[packeted]

In following the installation steps on MacOS, the script errors on the license agreement prompt:

Do you agree to these license terms and conditions (y/n)? 
Installation of "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" aborted.
\nERROR: Failed to install Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack from /Users/francis/.ievms/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.20.vbox-extpack, error code (1)\n

[packeted]

Looks like manually running

VBoxManage extpack install /Users/$user/.ievms/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.20.vbox-extpack

Allows you to answer the prompt and then successfully run the script.

Have the same issue and found the same solution like @packeted

[kennymkchan]

Awesome, +1 on the solution @packeted

Now, it's updated to Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.22.vbox-extpack

so run

VBoxManage extpack install /Users/$user/.ievms/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.22.vbox-extpack 

thx @packeted

I have a PR for a fix of this. #329

For whatever reason I had to run the install script twice. So not a perfect fix but it helps.

Updated to Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.24.vbox-extpack

Also find it a bit easier to run this way:

VBoxManage extpack install ~/.ievms/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.24.vbox-extpack

Then you don't have to worry about what directory your terminal instance is in.

Thanks, @packeted and @Strajk!

Ended up installing VirtualBox with extension through brew casks. No need to accept terms after that.

To add to @alexblais you can run this:

brew cask install virtualbox-extension-pack

@ianloverink that's what I ended up doing. Works great since.

Nowadays, as VM is updated, remember to reference the newest version of the extension pack, this worked for me:

VBoxManage extpack install /Users/<your_username>/.ievms/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.12.vbox-extpack

[mausvargas]

Nowadays... the VM is always getting updated, so if any of the commands above won't work, is because of the extension versioning... so instead of just copying and pasting the code above, do like this:

Paste this in the terminal, press tab to autocomplete the version of the file, then press enter:

VBoxManage extpack install /Users/<your_username>/.ievms/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-

Building on @thekillerdev's comment, here's an adapted version that should work on both Linux and Mac:

VBoxManage extpack install ~/.ievms/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-

as before, press tab to autocomplete to the specific version.
