The "extpack" command allows you to add or remove VirtualBox extension packs, as described in Section 1.5, “Installing VirtualBox and extension packs”.
To add a new extension pack, use VBoxManage
extpack install <.vbox-extpack>
. This command
will fail if an older version of the same extension pack is already
installed. The optional --replace
parameter can be used to uninstall the old package before the new
package is installed.
To remove a previously installed extension pack, use
VBoxManage extpack uninstall
<name>
. You can use
VBoxManage list extpacks
to show
the names of the extension packs which are currently installed;
please see Section 8.4, “VBoxManage list” also. The optional
--force
parameter can be used to
override the refusal of an extension pack to be uninstalled.
The VBoxManage extpack
cleanup
command can be used to remove temporary
files and directories that may have been left behind if a previous
install or uninstall command failed.
The following commands show examples how to list extension packs and remove one:
