The following guide will install Manjaro as the sole installation on a machine with UEFI enabled, Secure boot disabled using GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk(s). | |||
For multi-boot, the EFI system partition which is already present (or will be created), can usually be shared amongst multiple Linux installs. | |||

For the ESP (EFI system partition) which will store the EFI Grub binary, a 512mb partition of type fat32 can be created in the partitioning step, and mounted to ''/boot/efi'' | |||
If you are dual booting then an EFI partition from a previous install can also be used. | |||
