Welcome to the forum! :wave:

First, please do not type in all Caps. It’s considered bad etiquette on the internet in general as it’s perceived as shouting.

Second, your post is very hard to read. When pasting terminal output, highlight it then use the Preformatted text </> button.

Please edit your post accordingly.

There are two ways to install the Extension Pack, both are easy. Manually or via the AUR.

If you prefer to use the traditional and manual way: download the extension manually and install it via the GUI (File > Preferences > Extensions ) or via VBoxManage extpack install <.vbox-extpack> , make sure you have a toolkit like Polkit to grant privileged access to VirtualBox. The installation of this extension requires root access.

Does that help? :point_up: :wink:

The only reason why it’s in the AUR instead of the official repos is due to the non-free license.

dear Yochanan ,
                             I  have  tried  the  method  of   traditional  installation  which  is  File > Preference > Extension  way  in  virtualbox .  but  it  has  failed .

I  also  tried  the  terminal  methods  but  may  be  I  could  not  write  the  command  properly .
I  wrote  < sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_Virtualbox_Extension_Pack-6.1.16.vbox-extpack >  in  the  terminal  .  which  resulted  in  error .  was  the  command  written  properly ?   If  not , please  rectify  it  .
 
And  from  Add / Remove  software  I  have  found  that  Polkit  has  been  installed  in  my  system .  

So ,  I  do not  know  what  to  do  next  ?
May be  the  problem  is  on  oracle  side .

Another thing  is  worth  to    `Preformatted text`mention  that  on  oracle  download  page  (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_6_1)   Manjero  is  not  present  in  the  name  of  supported  linux  hosts . I  do  not  know  why ?

I asked you to use the Preformatted text </> button for terminal output. Don’t use it for regular text in your post.

Please edit both of your posts and fix the formatting. No one is going to want to read a jumbled mess that’s hard to read.

Don’t use “<” or “>” there. Yochanan only used it to specify the command. Also, insert the full path of the extpack. Like this:-
sudo VBoxManage extpack install /home/d/Desktop/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.16.vbox-extpack
