There is an alternative way to install and use ManjaroISO.
This method is more flexible and is perfect for everybody, who wants to build s RC or pre release version of the next Manjaro version. It can also help with incompatibilities of ManjaroISO profiles. On the other hand, it can contain more bugs.
1. Create a work directory
The first thing you should probably do is create a directory to work in, and cd to it. This'll help keep things organized.
mkdir -p ~/work/
2. Update your system
To update your system
sudo pacman -Syu
3. Install ManjaroISO
Next, install manjaroiso without its profiles:
sudo pacman -S manjaroiso
4. Clone from Github
The latest code for ManjaroISO is available on Github. There is the "master" branch and the "development" branch available.
The "master" branch is meant for creation of install-medias based on the latest stable Manjaro release. Clone ManjaroISO directly from Github to your work directory:
git clone git://github.com/manjaro/manjaroiso.git ~/work/manjaroiso
The "development" branch contains code for buildiso to build a RC or pre release install-media. Clone ManjaroISO from the "development" branch on Github:
git clone -b development git://github.com/manjaro/manjaroiso.git ~/work/manjaroiso
Updates
Unfortunately, I do not know enough about git
to tell you how you can "update" the cloned files in your ~/work/manjaroiso
directory. Somebody who knows, can edit this paragraph.
Differences
In comparison to the other way to install ManjaroISO, there are a couple more files and directories in your ~/work/
folder. But other than that, everything works the same.
