2=Manjaro installation images are available for download as ISO files. An ISO file is itself a literal copy of a disc image, although not in the same sense as a copy and paste duplication, rather it is a copy of the raw machine code that makes up the files and folders of that disc. This is why just copying an ISO file to a disc (or USB flashdrive) to begin installing it won't work; you'll need to use a ''disc burning application'' to translate that raw data into the files and folders. Instructions to do so for both Linux and Windows operating systems are provided below.| | |||

On the OSDN download server, each Manjaro Edition has its own particular folder, which will contain a folder for each new ISO release. Each folder will also contain a torrent file for the ISO image, a list of the included packages, the build log file and the relevant ''checksum'' files, which can be used to check the integrity of your downloaded ISO file, to ensure that it has not been corrupted during download. A link to the guide on doing this has been provided below. | On the OSDN download server, each Manjaro Edition has its own particular folder, which will contain a folder for each new ISO release.
