| 12 | You may need to install the following packages on your Linux
|
|---|
| 13 | system before starting the installation. Some systems will do
|
|---|
| 14 | this for you automatically when you install <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.

|

| 25 | called <filepath>libsdl</filepath> or similar.

|

| 31 | These packages are only required if you want to run the
|
|---|
| 32 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> graphical user interfaces. In particular,
|
|---|
| 33 | <userinput>VirtualBox</userinput>, the graphical VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 34 | Manager, requires both Qt and SDL. If you only want to run
|
|---|
| 35 | <userinput>VBoxHeadless</userinput>, neither Qt nor SDL are
|
|---|
| 36 | required.
