Angry Failed dependencies errors when installing VirtualBox

I have downloaded VirtualBox 6.1 for my machine with these specs:

Code:
Operating System: CentOS Linux 8
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:8
            Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86_64
      Architecture: x86-64
When I try to install it by running the command:

Code:
rpm -ivf  VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.18_142142_el8-1.x86_64.rpm
I get the following error message:

Code:

I tried updating. I tried yum update and dnf update. I tried installing the Development tools. I even tried installing every file mentioned in the error message one by one but this still keeps happening. What is going on?

Why are you using rpm to install VirtualBox? Why not use dnf?

In any case, you'd need to install all required dependencies manually if you use rpm directly.

If the Virtualbox package isn't in the CentOS 8 repo's, you can use the .run installer from Virtualbox's website instead - but you will need the development tools installed in that case. Because it'll need to build Virtualbox's kernel drivers for the kernel your system is running in that case.

Cool
Yes it worked!

I couldn't find this option at the VirtualBox site only rpm's to download, but got it now.

Thanks
