Virtualbox is in the official repository.

Just open a terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox

After installing you should add the user, you want to use VirtualBox with to the vboxusers group by:

sudo adduser $USER vboxusers

If you prefer a more recent version, take a look at Download VirtualBox.

Help page from the Oracle VM virtualbox website. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads#Debian-basedLinuxdistributions

It has a list of deb packages you can download.

You can run it with

sudo dpkg Path/To/File
