初学者使用Manjaro
本指南简要概述了一些充分利用 Manjaro 操作系统所需的关键知识点
Pamac, in the menus add Add/Remove software, is Manjaro's graphical software manager.
添加/删除软件是一个非常简单但功能强大的工具，用于从您的系统添加和删除软件包（应用程序）。 启动后，它会自动检查官方 Manjaro 远程存储库中是否有新的和更新的软件。 完成后，只需输入要安装或删除的软件包的名称或简短说明，然后单击“查找”按钮。
与您的搜索匹配的所有已安装和可用软件将显示在右侧。 单击任何结果的名称以立即在下方查看有关它的更多信息。
软件包名称旁边的复选框将指示它是否已安装。
- 要安装软件包，单击相邻的复选框以将其标记为安装。
- 要删除已安装的软件包，请单击相邻的复选框以将其标记为删除。
Once package boxes have been marked and/or cleared, you may undertake more searches before clicking the Apply (check mark) button to conform your choice(s). It really is that simple!
- 要更新软件包，单击更新选项卡，查看您的选择，然后单击应用
Pamac Updater将自动检查并通知您任何可用的系统更新。

Another available options for graphical software updates and management is Octopi. Like pamac-manager, Octopi can install software from either the repos or AUR.
- To install available updates click the menu icon at the bottom of the application window (in this illustration, next to the red star), and then select Install.
- To install a package after searching, right-click the listed package (ins, and then select Install. Once done, then click the green tick icon at the top to confirm.
- To remove a package after searching right-click the listed package (installed packages will have a green icon with a tick next to them), and then select Remove. Once done, then click the green tick icon at the top to confirm.
A full guide on using Octopi is available here.
On occasion, particularly when installing new software applications, several other software packages will also be automatically installed as well. These are known as dependencies, as they are necessary for whatever is being installed to work properly. In other words, the software package being downloaded is dependent upon them.
Your package manager will list the dependencies required for software packages in the information pane. For example, as illustrated, if the VLC Media Player were to be installed, then several other software packages --such as to allow it to play different media formats-- would also be automatically be downloaded if not already installed on the system. Without them, the Media Player would not be able to play certain media formats, or perhaps not be able to play anything at all!
The Manjaro Settings Manager offers you GUI settings, which are either enabled by Manjaro (i.e. installation of multiple kernels and easy installation of non-proprietary and proprietary graphics drivers) or are missing from at least some of the popular Desktop Environments and Window Managers.
Manjaro Settings Manager is under development and might offer even more settings in the future than illustrated on the left.
Although Manjaro is compatible to Arch --being based on Arch itself-- it is not possible to 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 and applications) have been fully tested and are completely stable before release.
However, it is still possible to access additional software packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR), which is managed by the Arch community of users themselves. Although this repository is unofficial, software packages first placed here are known to make their way into Arch's official repositories if they become popular enough. A guide on how to Access the AUR has been provided.
In simple terms, a terminal (or console) is an interface that allows for text commands to be entered and displayed. As it is an exceptionally powerful and versatile tool to use, Arch and other Arch-based systems are notable for relying far more heavily on their use than other (user-friendly) distributions such as Ubuntu or Mint, which have placed a greater focus on the use of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI).
Although GUIs to undertake many common tasks have been provided with Manjaro, particularly to assist new users just as with other user-friendly distributions, it may on occasion be necessary to use the terminal to get something done. Most of the guides contained in the wiki rely on using the terminal, particularly where solving problems and tweaking the system is concerned. For those users who wish to learn more about how Manjaro works, and for those who wish to take full advantage of its versatility, it is highly recommended to learn how to use the terminal. Don't worry: it's not that hard or scary, and this wiki can be used to guide you every step of the way.
The Linux kernel is the core of a Linux operating system. It acts as an interface between your computer's hardware and the applications that run on it. Manjaro not only supports the use of multiple kernels (selectable from the boot screen), but allows easy access to the very latest, bleeding edge kernels as well. All available kernels installed on your system will be presented upon booting up, including backup copies of each kernel version installed. If sub-menus are in effect, you will need to press Enter on the second item of a set.
Having most supported kernels available means you have the ability choose from having bleeding-edge kernel updates or sticking with a stable LTS kernel. No matter what kernel you choose, you will still get access to the latest applications.
A guide on how to manage kernels has been provided.
It is easy to add printers in Manjaro. Full instructions on installing the necessary software are provided in the Printing guide.
