Installation guides for every release of the '''full edition of Manjaro''' (i.e. complete with a desktop environment, popular software applications, and codecs), have been provided bellow 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 '''[https://www.virtualbox.org/ 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:

In addition to the standard '''Stable Installer''', Manjaro 0.8.2 also provides the experimental '''Testing Installer''', which is <u>specifically aimed at more experienced users</u>. The Testing Installer provides several new - and advanced - features not otherwise found in the Stable Installer. This includes supporting the ''Unified Extensible Firmware Interface'' ('''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface EFI]'''), ''B-tree file system'' ('''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs btrfs]'''), and ''Redundant Array of Independent Disks'' ('''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID RAID]''') storage system.

Both guides provided are virtually identical. The only real difference between them is that the ''Guide for Beginners'' utilises the '''assisted preparation''' method to automatically prepare and partition your computer's hard disk for you. The ''Guide for Experienced Users'' instead utilises the ''non-assisted preparation'' method, whereby the hard disk must be prepared and partitioned manually. In addition, the ''Guide for Beginners'' also provides detailed explanations to edit various configuration files if desired; while the ''Guide for Experienced Users'' assumes existing knowledge and expertise to do so.

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.
