Problems when installing virtual-box

I installed virtual box, and am having problems running it via terminal.
I believe I have tried it both by installing the package from their website for my configuration and via the command-line.
I receive this error.
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libdouble-conversion.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Can anybody give me the play by play on how to play around with these lib files that seem to jam up so many people?
Thanks

How did you install VirtualBox? The proper way is to download the file from virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and usedpkg -i filename.deb.

@anactualtoaster politely disagree: The proper way to install is from the Ubuntu repositories, unless you a compelling reason not to. Most folks don't have a compelling reason.

Step 1: Clean up everything you have tried. If you added repositories, uninstall all the software you added from those repositories. Uninstall the packages you (failed to) install. Step 2: Runsudo apt updateandsudo apt upgrade. If there are any errors, post the complete output (not a summary). If there are no errors, just say so. This is a test that you completed Step 1 properly. Then you will be ready for Step 3.

I am working on sudo apt upgrade. It is taking awhile because I installed Kali tools. In doing the addition of the virtual-box repository to the sources.list in /etc/apt , since I am running the latest ubuntu ls, would I add deb download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian 'bionic' contrib? It is a little ambigious if you add the '<bionic>' or without the greater than/ less than symbols. I assume the debian dist, bionic-beaver, would just be described as bionic.

Welp installing katoolin over ubuntu did not go so well. I ended up reinstalling ubuntu and in the process the virtualbox install went great. I now have a virtual machine of kali in case I want to learn with the whole suite of pentesting and security tools. That is great. Thank you for the warm response community / user535733!
