Overview

Manjaro installation images are available for download as ISO files. An ISO file is itself a literal copy of a disc image, although not in the same sense as a copy and paste duplication, rather it is a copy of the raw machine code that makes up the files and folders of that disc. This is why just copying an ISO file to a disc (or USB flashdrive) to begin installing it won't work; you'll need to use a disc burning application to translate that raw data into the files and folders. Instructions to do so for both Linux and Windows operating systems are provided below.

note

There is an exception to this rule. If you intend on installing Manjaro in a virtual machine environment using Oracle's Virtualbox, then there will be no need to burn the image as Virtualbox will be able to read from the ISO file directly as a virtual disc.

note

Manjaro has no support for 32-bit systems.

Manjaro Editions

There are currently three Official Manjaro Editions: Gnome, KDE and Xfce. You can view a brief introduction at the Manjaro Official Webpage

Downloading an ISO image

On the OSDN download server, each Manjaro Edition has its own particular folder, which will contain a folder for each new ISO release. Each folder will also contain a torrent file for the ISO image, a list of the included packages, the build log file and the relevant checksum files, which can be used to check the integrity of your downloaded ISO file, to ensure that it has not been corrupted during download. A link to the guide on doing this has been provided below.

Stable Releases of Manjaro are intended to be used by the general public. As such, they will be the appropriate choice for the majority of users.

Stable Releases

Test Builds of Manjaro are intended to be used by developers and testers, in order to identify any bugs or issues to be addressed as their development continues towards the next stable release. These are not suitable nor intended for use by the general public as a main operating system; however, should you wish to try out a test build (preferably in a virtual machine) each current release have a look at the Forum Announcements.

Downloading Community Editions

There are also several Community releases for the most famous, or hardly known Display Environments, like Cinnamon, MATE, i3, Awesome, Deepin, Budgie, LxQt and Openbox.

You may find them in the Manjaro website:

-'''1. The full edition''': This edition of Manjaro comes complete with everything pre-installed, including a desktop environment, popular software applications, and codecs. This would of course be the most appropriate choice for those who wish to try out Manjaro on a ''Live-CD'' without having to install it first. An ISO image for a full edition of Manjaro will list the pre-installed desktop environment in its name. For example, an ISO image beginning with '''manjaro-xfce''' will have the XFCE desktop environment pre-installed.
+<!--T:14-->
+You may find them in the Manjaro website:
-'''2. The NET edition''': This edition of Manjaro provides only a base installation, stripped of any and all pre-installed software. This is suitable for more experienced users who may wish to build their own Manjaro systems from the ground up, starting with the command line. An ISO image for a NET edition will always begin with '''manjaro-net'''.

-Each stable release and test-build of Manjaro has its own particular folder, which will contain all the 32 and 64 bit versions of both the full and NET editions available. Each folder will also contain the relevant ''checksum'' files which can be used to check the integrity of your downloaded ISO file (i.e. to ensure that it has not been corrupted during the process of being downloaded). A guide on how to use these has been provided '''[[Check a Downloaded ISO Image For Errors|here]]'''.
-'''Stable Releases''' of Manjaro are intended to be used by the general public. As such, will be the appropriate choice for the majority of users. Each of the stable releases - starting from 0.8.0 - can be downloaded from the '''[http://sourceforge.net/projects/manjarolinux/files/release/ Stable Release section]''' of the ''Sourceforge'' website.
-'''Test Builds''' of Manjaro are intended to be used only by developers and testers, in order to identify any bugs or issues to be addressed as their development continues towards the next stable release. '''These are not suitable - or intended - for use as a main operating system by the general public'''. However, should you wish to try out a test build (preferrably in a virtual machine), each current release can be downloaded from the from the '''[http://sourceforge.net/projects/manjarodev/files/testbuild/ Test Build section]''' of the ''Sourceforge'' website.
-= Checking the Downloaded ISO Image For Errors =
-It is absolutely <u>''critical''</u> that you ensure that your downloaded ISO file had not been corrupted during the download process before attempting to use it. A guide to undertake this in both Linux and Windows operating systems is available '''[[Check a Downloaded ISO Image For Errors|here]]'''.
-= Burning an ISO File =
-Once the integrity of the ISO has been verified, unless you wish to use Manjaro in a ''virtual machine'', it will then be necessary to installation medium such as a CD/DVD or USB flashdrive / datastick in order to run and/or install it on your system. A guide to do so is available '''[[Burn an ISO File|here]]'''.
-= Installing Manjaro =
-If you are new to Linux or Manjaro, then you may find the '''[[Installation_Guide_Assisted|Installation Guide for Beginners]]''' the most suitable place to start. Otherwise, there is also an '''[[Installation_Guide|Installation Guide for Experienced Users]]'''.
