    <p>
      After installation, you can start Oracle VM VirtualBox as follows:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <p><b outputclass="bold">Windows hosts.</b> In the
          <b outputclass="bold">Programs</b> menu, click on the
          item in the <b outputclass="bold">VirtualBox</b> group.
          On some Windows platforms, you can also enter
          <userinput>VirtualBox</userinput> in the search box of the
          <b outputclass="bold">Start</b> menu.
        </p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p><b outputclass="bold">macOS hosts.</b> In the Finder,
          double-click on the
          <b outputclass="bold">VirtualBox</b> item in the
          Applications folder. You may want to drag this item onto your
          Dock.
        </p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p><b outputclass="bold">Linux or Oracle Solaris
          hosts</b>. Depending on your desktop environment, an
          Oracle VM VirtualBox item may have been placed in either the System
          or System Tools group of your
          <b outputclass="bold">Applications</b> menu.
          Alternatively, you can enter <userinput>VirtualBox</userinput> in
          a terminal window.
        </p>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      When you start Oracle VM VirtualBox, the VirtualBox Manager interface is shown.
