installing virtualbox

[OldTon]

Hi
I want to install vertualbox in Peppermintos 11.
But when I open synaptic, I see 8 items related to virtualbox
Which one to install ?
What I want to do is: Install Peppermint in Vbox, in order to experiment and learn, without screwing up my primary install.
I could guess of course, but rather ask.
Thanks

Thank you very much. I will give this one a go soon.
Edit: Have done so.
Looks good - simple - fast.
Just have to spend some time to learn the < ins and outs >
Thanks a lot, cavy

I've installed peppermint OS on an old laptop. I've downloaded virtualbox but I can't get it to install. it's in my downloads folder when i open the terminal and type in the install command , it won't install.....im super new to this process, any help would be greatly appreciated.

open terminal and paste this link
wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.34/virtualbox-6.1_6.1.34-150636.1~Debian~bullseye_amd64.deb
then type in the terminal these commands to install the package
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
then to fix the dependencies
sudo apt install -f
and so you will have virtualbox installed
