| | ===How to improve font rendering with your installed fonts=== |
|
| |
|
| 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 '''[https://www.virtualbox.org/ 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:

| * 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).
| |
|
| |
|
| | ''1. Create the file /etc/fonts/local.conf'' |
|
| |
|
| 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).

| Manjaro 0.8.4 again introduces a number of changes and improvements. In addition to introducing a brand new theme and look, enhanced software package optimisation has resulted in even more applications and features being packed into each flavour. This includes full multi-media support once again. Additionally, the Openbox and MATE flavours also provide access to the Arch User Repository (AUR) out of the box.

|
| Manjaro 0.8.3 encompasses a number of significant changes from the previous release. All software packages have been optimised, the use of resources have been streamlined, and performance has consequently been boosted. As such, this release provides a faster, leaner, and more efficient system that requires even less memory to run. However, in order to reduce the sizes of the installation files, Libre-Office, and use of the Arch User Repository (AUR) must be installed and enabled manually.

| In addition to the standard '''Stable Installer''', Manjaro 0.8.2 also provides the experimental '''Testing Installer''', which is <u>specifically aimed at more experienced users</u>. The Testing Installer provides several new - and advanced - features not otherwise found in the Stable Installer. This includes supporting the ''Unified Extensible Firmware Interface'' ('''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface EFI]'''), ''B-tree file system'' ('''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs btrfs]'''), and ''Redundant Array of Independent Disks'' ('''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID RAID]''') storage system.

| 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.
