==Overview==

As outlined in the '''[[Download Manjaro| Download Manjaro page]]''', an ISO is not simply a 'drag and drop' or 'copy and paste' duplication of Manjaro's installation files. It is in fact a copy of the raw computer code that makes up the files themselves. This is why it is necessary to use a '''software burning application''' to 'burn' an ISO file, that is, convert its raw code into the files onto a physical medium such as a DVD or USB flashdrive / datastick in order to use it. Once burned / converted, the files on that medium can then be used to run Manjaro directly without having to install it to your system (referred to as ''Live-CD or Live-USB'' mode), and/or install Manjaro on your system. Again however, it will not be necessary to to burn an ISO if you intend on running Manjaro in a virtual machine environment using Oracle's Virtualbox. This is because Virtualbox is able to read ISO files directly as ''virtual disks''.

===Writing to a USB Stick on a Macintosh===

As a Unix variant, macOS uses a similar approach to Linux. All commands below should be run in the '''Terminal''' application. Commands using '''sudo''' may prompt for your password; this is expected.

After you've inserted your USB drive, identify it using '''diskutil''':

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 1000.0 GB disk0s2

/dev/disk3 (external, physical):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *7.8 GB disk3

1: Windows_NTFS MYUSBDRIVE 7.8 GB disk3s1

Note the identifier '''disk3s1''' in this example.

Unmount the drive with the command:

Volume MYUSBDRIVE on disk3s1 unmounted

Now you can use '''dd''' to write to the raw device:

{{UserCmd|command=sudo dd bs=4m if=Desktop/manjaro-i3-21.2.3-220205-linux515.iso of=/dev/disk3}}

787+1 records in

787+1 records out

3303161856 bytes transferred in 2470.782563 secs (1336889 bytes/sec)

The USB drive can now be removed from the computer and used to boot Manjaro.
