Amit the error message is telling you the reason. Read it carefully. You're
trying to load a VM disk image which contains Linux, with the attribute
"Linux" on the disk file, in a VM which has "Mac OS-X" has its attribute.

Create a new VM using the Virtualbox GUI, set it as Linux as the guest OS
(on the drop-down), and then point it to the downloaded file. Should work...
