You may need to install the dirmngr package to import keys by running:

apt install dirmngr

Also the most current version is virtualbox-5.2, and you can instead run:

apt install virtualbox-5.2

Hi!
Just a small note here:
A typo of one letter may cause confusion, pls correct it:
On the
(Update local repository package list:) section, the command typo mistake in:

apt-get udpate

is the last argument, which should be: update… not udpate

thank you. This typo will be fixed shortly…Much appreciated
