Although Manjaro is 100% Arch compatible -being based on Arch itself- it is not possible to access the official repositories of the Arch System to download software. Manjaro instead uses its own official repositories in order to ensure that any software packages provided (e.g., system updates and applications) have been fully tested and are completely stable before release. | Although Manjaro is 100% Arch compatible --being based on Arch itself-- it is not possible to access the official repositories of the Arch System to download software.

However, it is still possible to access additional software packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR), which is managed by the Arch community of users themselves.

A '''[[Arch_User_Repository|guide on how to Access the AUR]]''' has been provided. | However, it is still possible to access additional software packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR), which is managed by the Arch community of users themselves.
