VirtualBox Extension Pack for 14.04.1 LTS (Virtualbox 4.3.10)

Question

Where might I find the Virtualbox Extension pack for 14.04.1 LTS (64bit)

I installed virtualbox via synaptic. The version it installed is 4.3.10 I can't seem to locate a corresponding Extension pack.

My fallback would be to install directly but I'm curious to see if it's available.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ext-pack should be more easy to install it — shakaran, Sep 10 '16 at 12:34

To install, just double click on it and virtualbox will ask you if you want to add the extension pack. (source: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing) – lepe May 26 '15 at 01:42
In Ubuntu, virtualbox version 4.3.10, not finding any option called extension. Also nothing is happening when the the above extpack file is opened using virtualbox. Can anyone help? – CR2 Oct 13 '15 at 08:48
Open main options, select plugins, select .vbox-extpack and it will install it – Sergey P. aka azure Sep 17 '16 at 19:36

Unfortunately, version 5 has not been included in the Software Center Repos yet and has to be installed through a deb file, which, I think is not what the OP is not asking. – x__x Sep 01 '15 at 15:40
