I googled "autodock vina virtualbox" and the 2nd web link I see is to this page: https://bioinformaticsreview.com/20220117/tutorial-how-to-install-autodock-vina-on-mac-os/

That's the effort it takes to solve this by yourself - I'm sure it took more effort to create this post. I apologize for the snark - the installation seems to be a potentially painful process.

Thank you but I am already follow this tutorial steps but at mgltools steps at the page but I don't understand there is not no enough explanation how to use virtualbox for installation to MGL TOOLS

That section is for after you have virtualbox set up. You may have to run a really old version of macOS within the virtualbox, so be prepared to run into a few challenges. Try to find a macOS/linux expert near you as this could get out of hand.
