install the necessary tools and headers to compile and install VirtualBox Guest Additions on Debian:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"739\" height=\"345\"

this guide, we&#8217;ve shown the method to install VirtualBox Guest Additions on Debian 12 by updating packages, installing necessary tools, mounting the CD image, and running the installer.
