7 <p>For the various versions of Linux that are supported as host operating systems, see <xref
8 href="hostossupport.dita#hostossupport"/>. </p>
9 <p>You may need to install the following packages on your Linux system before starting the installation. Some
10 systems will do this for you automatically when you install <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. </p>
11 <ul>
12 <li>
13 <p>Qt 6.5.3 or later.</p>
14 </li>
15 <li>
16 <p>SDL 2.0 or later. This graphics library is typically called <filepath>libsdl2</filepath> or similar. </p>
17 </li>
18 </ul>
19 <note>
20 <p>These packages are only required if you want to run the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
21 graphical user interfaces. In particular, <userinput>VirtualBox</userinput>, the graphical VirtualBox Manager,
22 requires both Qt and SDL. If you only want to run <userinput>VBoxHeadless</userinput>, neither Qt nor SDL are
23 required. </p>
