Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) Mac High Sierra 10.13

Question

I'm currently running vargant version 2.1.5 on my mac high sierra 10.13.6

So after completing the vagrant init and vagrant up command I'm suppose to have a fully running virtual machine in virtualbox. But after running vagrant up I get this instead.

There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["startvm", "3574f45d-aade-4053-af8b-0c88330e855f", "--type", "headless"]

Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'saltstates_default_1539870640620_6152' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1) VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine

Any idea what this is about?

It's not necessary to reinstall VirtualBox in order to resolve this problem. As described in the VirtualBox forum for macOS hosts, you can do the following instead:

1. Restart your machine and enter Recovery Mode (Press and hold ⌘-R on reboot.)
2. Open the Terminal.
3. Type the following: spctl kext-consent add VB5E2TV963
4. Press Enter.
5. Restart your machine.

Answer 3

So if you have mac high sierra or higher, mac security and system preferences allow applications to make system changes with in a 30 mins of installation of the application. So I had to uninstall virtual box then reinstall it. Then I went to system preferences and allow kernel driver changes.
