Every time I try to run something in VirtualBox it keeps giving me an error, and I can't figure out how to fix it. I don't know how to fix it, and please be as detailed and easy to understand as possible, so I on't get confused. This is the error.

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not
loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv
Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/sbin/vboxconfig' as root.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

Lets try these steps:

1. Install needed build tools:

   sudo apt install build-essential

2. Build the kernel modules for virtualbox:

   sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

3. Relaunch virtualbox.
