Install Virtualbox in WSL Windows 10

Question

I need to have access to Virtualbox from within the WSL, I have tried to sudo apt-get install virtualbox but I end up with the following error:

WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
     Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
     headers, most likely linux-headers-3.4.0+.

     You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Solution 1

Vagrant is now capable of detecting that it is running on WSL.
How to configure Windows and WSL to enable this feature is described on Vagrant website
They claim it's an advanced feature but the configuration seems quite straightforward.

Solution 2

Unfortunately, that will not work (at least for now), as explained here: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/549
