I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch with OS X Yosemite [Memory 8 GB, Graphics Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB]. I am trying to setup Genymotion as Android Emulator. I installed Oracle VirtualBox first from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [VirtualBox-5.0.0-101573-OSX.dmg], and then Genymotion for personal use from Genymotion [genymotion-2.5.0.dmg].
But I get the following error -
I checked all the previous answers on StackOverflow and the Google search results, and I did the following, but none of them solved the problem.
1. (a)
sudo /Library/Startupitems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
OR (b)
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart
Since my /Library/Startupitems/ is empty, I tried option (b).
2. Open VirtualBox -> Preferences -> Network, Under "Host-only Networks", I deleted the one that was listed. Under "Nat Networks", there is an Active network called "NatNetwork", which is checked.
3. vboxmanage is added to path & has nothing under hostonlyifs
Terminal:
$ which vboxmanage
/usr/local/bin/vboxmanage
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin: <others>
$ vboxmanage list hostonlyifs
## no output - prints nothing
These are all I found through Google Search. How do I get the Genymotion working for Yosemite ?
{ If possible, please provide a solution that is not too technical, since I am new to Mac, and it might also help people using Mac for the first time. I know this is not a new question on StackOverflow. But none of the previous posts had helped me. }
Thanks for your help.
