Hi @jessientim,

Sorry for the trouble with the Local VM!

Please try the following:

1. Quit Local if it’s running
2. Open Terminal
3. Run the following command and provide your password when prompted:

```auto
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart

```

1. Go to System Preferences » Security & Privacy
2. Click on the “Allow” button if present
3. Re-open Local

* * *

If the issue persists, follow the steps here to manually update/re-install VirtualBox: [How can I manually update VirtualBox?](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/how-can-i-manually-update-virtualbox/6389)

i tried it manually , it did not work as well after trying the first option given. The virtual box failed to install.
