I already had VirtualBox in my system. When I run autopsy start command, it's giving following error -

I'm on Mac OS X (Sierra 10.12.5 (16F73)) if that helps. Node version is v6.9.4.

Tried lot of googling couldn't find anything relevant.

I had the same problem, I fixed it by updating to the latest version of VirtualBox, then rerunning autopsy setup and removing the existing smartos VM.

I have the same error with latest VirtualBox 5.2.22 r126460 on macOS 10.11.6

Solution for me was to start VM manually with VirtualBox, enter it and login with root/root

Afterwards autopsy works
