Overview
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.
If you already have a /home partition be sure to read this section [1] . By default a fresh Manjaro installation will not overwrite the config files in your /home partition. You do have the option to have Manjaro do that though. This page may also be of some use to those that have an existing /home (partition or directory) [2]
