+= Installing from the AUR by hand =
+Download the tarball from the AUR preferably to ''/home/downloads''
+(just click on the tarball from your browser and you should get it)
+Make a sub-directory in downloads called builds-
+ mkdir ~/downloads/builds
+Move the tarball to builds
+ mv foo.tar.gz builds
+Untar the tarball
+ tar -xvf foo.tar.gz
+Move into the new sub-directory
+ cd <foo>
+To make/complie the package, run-
+ makepkg -s
+This will build the package and pull in any dependencies needed.
+''Note that it wont pull a dependency from the AUR, only from the Manjaro Repos.''
+If you run
+ ls
+you'll probably find a few new files.
+You're interested in the one that ends with .pkg.tar.xz (usually)
+The final event is running $sudo pacman -U on that file ,hence-
+ sudo pacman -U foo.pkg.xz
+And you've done it...the safest best way to install from the AUR.
+This is essentially what most install scripts do for you.
+You can ask for support for installing by hand at the following link-[http://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=7076.msg61520#msg61520]
