After that apt install try going to catkin_ws and use catkin_make which can sort out the searching for newly installed launch files.

I normally do this with an actual Magni Robot then use the virtual box to bring up Rviz.
I run the other launch file that is in same location as the one you want.

What happens if on the VirtualBox you use this command:
roslaunch magni_viz view_nav.launch

If it does not find this as well then ROS may need the catkin_make I mentioned.

Hi @nelson,

You need to have the magni_robot and magni_viz packages installed on your workstation as well.
sudo apt install ros-kinetic-magni-robot ros-kinetic-magni-viz.
