Overview

tip

For best results, please ensure that Manjaro is connected to the internet prior to starting the installation process.

Installation guides for every release of Manjaro have been provided below for both beginners and experienced users. These guides may also be used to install Manjaro as a main operating system, or within a virtual machine environment using Oracle's Virtualbox. Rebooting your computer (or starting your virtual machine) after connecting your installation media should be sufficient to start the process. If you find that your computer continues to boot into your existing operating system despite this, then check that:

The ISO Download and/or installation media has not been corrupted, and that
Your disc drive or USB flash-drive, depending on which you are using to install, is listed higher up in the boot order than your hard drive, which means that it will be booted from first.

Checking and amending your boot order, if necessary, will require either going into your computer's BIOS settings, if installing Manjaro as your main operating system, or into Virtualbox's System Settings if installing in a virtual machine.

-'''1. [[Installation Guide For Beginners 0.8.0-1|Installation Guide for Beginners]]''': This guide covers the ''automatic preparation'' of your computer's hard disk, which will be undertaken by the installer for you. Although optional, detailed explanations have also been provided to manually edit configuration files if desired, in order to improve performance. Please note that '''using this guide will result in completely erasing your hard disk during the installation process'''. Manjaro will be installed alone, so backup your personal files first!
-'''2. [[Installation Guide for Experienced Users 0.8.0-1|Installation Guide for Experienced Users]]''': This guide covers the ''manual preparation'' of your computer's hard disk, where partitioning must be undertaken by hand. Manually partitioning the hard drive provides the ability to retain and therefore dual-boot with any other operating system already installed. As some technical knowledge and experience is assumed, the guide provides less detailed explanations.
