Overview
Although Manjaro is 100% Arch compatible - being based on Arch itself - it is not possible access the official repositories of the Arch System to download software. Manjaro instead uses its own official repositories in order to ensure that any software packages provided (e.g. system updates) have been fully tested for stability before being released.
However, it is still possible to access addition software packages and applications from the Arch User Repositories (AUR), which are managed by the Arch community (i.e. users) themselves. Although this repository is unofficial, software packages and applications first placed here are known to make their way into Arch's official repositories if they become popular enough.
