Overview

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.

Note

There is an exception to this rule. If you intend on installing Manjaro in a virtual machine environment using Oracle's Virtualbox, then there will be no need to burn the image as Virtualbox will be able to read from the ISO file directly as a virtual disc.

ISO images available for 32 bit systems will end in i686.iso, while images for 64 bit systems will end in x86_64.iso. Please try to ensure that you download the appropriate ISO image for your system as:

a 64 bit ISO won't run on a 32 bit system, and
a 32 bit ISO will not be able use the full power or resources of a 64 bit system.

Manjaro Editions

There are currently four Official Manjaro Editions: Gnome, KDE, Xfce and Architect. You can view a brief introduction at the Manjaro Official Webpage

Downloading an ISO image

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.

Stable Releases of Manjaro are intended to be used by the general public. As such, they will be the appropriate choice for the majority of users.

Download from OSDN	stable
direct	Stable Release

Test Builds of Manjaro are intended to be used by developers and testers, in order to identify any bugs or issues to be addressed as their development continues towards the next stable release. These are not suitable nor intended for use by the general public as a main operating system; however, should you wish to try out a test build (preferrably in a virtual machine) each current release have a look at the Forum Announcements.

Downloading Community Editions

There are also several Community releases for the most famous, or hardly known Display Environments, like Cinnamon, MATE, i3, LXDE Awesome, Deepin, Budgie, LxQt, Openbox.

You may find them at OSDN:

-There are two editions of Manjaro available for download:
+There are currently four Official Manjaro Editions: Gnome, KDE, Xfce and Architect. You can view a brief introduction at the [https://manjaro.org/get-manjaro/ Manjaro Official Webpage]
-'''1. The full edition''': This edition of Manjaro comes complete with everything pre-installed, including a desktop environment, popular software applications, and codecs. This would of course be the most appropriate choice for those who wish to try out Manjaro on a ''Live-CD'' without having to install it first. An ISO image for a full edition of Manjaro will list the pre-installed desktop environment in its name. For example, an ISO image beginning with '''manjaro-xfce''' will have the XFCE desktop environment pre-installed.
-'''2. The NET edition''': This edition of Manjaro provides only a base installation, stripped of any and all pre-installed software. Starting from the command line, this is suitable for more experienced users who may wish to build their own Manjaro systems from the ground up. An ISO image for a NET edition will always begin with '''manjaro-net'''.

-Each stable release and test-build of Manjaro has its own particular folder, which will contain both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the full and NET editions available. Each folder will also contain 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.
