Can't install local: Pre-create error

Support
1

I get an alert immediately after the first of the three stages of installation (Installing VBox):

“Error with pre-create check: VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path.”

The installer then seems to churn on the Host Machine stage. When I quit and run VirtualBox there is no local machine created. I have deleted Local Machine folder from ~/Library/Application Support/ and tried again but still hitting this problem.

I am launching Local from the Applications folder, though have tried it elsewhere, still the same error.

Help appreciated as I’m a flywheel fan and would love local to work for me!

Sorry for the trouble!

Can you please go to Help » Reveal Local’s Log in Local and then upload that log here?

Check out this thread: Error with pre-create check: "VBoxManage not found."

Specifically the part about repairing your disk with Disk Utility.

Thanks Clay…though it has rabbit hole potential! Might give it a try when I have time. N

I’m having the same exact issue as nizami and the mentioned thread above. However, there seems to be no solution. Sadly, the Local app will not work on our Macs and it looks like there is no path forward for us. Can you recommend another application for hosting local Wordpress installations on Mac?

Stephen,

Very sorry for the trouble!

Is there anyway you can provide your local-by-flywheel.log file? You can find it by going to Help » Reveal Local’s Log.

Did you try repairing your disk using Disk Utility?

If you type echo $PATH in Terminal.app what is the output? Also, can you try entering /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage

10

Yes, I tried all the same things you mentioned to the other 2 people with this issue.

$PATH retuns: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/ImageMagick/bin

Trying to enter the next path returned “access denied”. So I used sudo:
sudo /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage (after entering password) returns a list of commands for VBox Manage that starts with “Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 5.1.14”

FYI: yesterday I installed Virtual Box from their website and it seemed to work fine. After that, I tried the Local by Flywheel installation again and had the same result.

11

Can you please try running: sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local

Then try /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage without sudo

12

Thank you, after running:

sudo chown -R “$USER”:admin /usr/local

I was able to get the list of commands without needing the admin password. I assumed that Local would now be able to install, and it did install successfully!
