Overview
Installation guides for every release of Manjaro have been provided bellow 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 (i.e. that they 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 Virtualbox's System Settings (if installing in a virtual machine).
Quick Guides
- An example of how to install Manjaro to SSD for experienced users.
Manjaro 0.8.2 Installation Guides
In addition to the standard Stable Installer, Manjaro 0.8.2 also provides the experimental Testing Installer, which is specifically aimed at more experienced users. The Testing Installer provides several new - and advanced - features not otherwise found in the Stable Installer. This includes supporting the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), B-tree file system (btrfs), and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) storage system.
- A simple guide where no technical knowledge or expertise is required.
- Manually partition your hard disk and edit the necessary configuration files.
Manjaro 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 Installation Guides
Both guides provided are virtually identical. The only real difference between them is that the Guide for Beginners utilises the assisted preparation method to automatically prepare and partition your computer's hard disk for you. The Guide for Experienced Users requires that the hard disk be prepared and partitioned manually. The Guide for Beginners also provides additional detail and explanations on how to edit various configuration files, while the Guide for Experienced Users assumes existing knowledge and expertise.
- Requires manual preparation and partitioning of your computer's hard disk.
