Spotify is available as snap from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snappy_(package_manager) Snappy], the package management system built by Canonical.
Installed snaps are being kept up to date automatically.
 
First of all install the snapd package like it is [https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/install-manjaro described in the official documentation] with two simple terminal commands:
 
sudo pacman -Sy snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
 
Then simply install Spotify alongside with the core snap as dependency:
 
sudo snap install spotify
 
That's it!
Now you can run Spotify either by executing the following command in the terminal:
 
snap run spotify
 
Or even easier you can find Spotify using the application finder within your desktop environment.
