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.

note

Manjaro has no support for 32-bit systems.

Manjaro Editions

There are currently three Official Manjaro Editions: Gnome, KDE and Xfce. 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.

Stable Releases

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 (preferably 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, Awesome, Deepin, Budgie, LxQt and Openbox.

You may find them in the Manjaro website:

-===== From Windows =====
-You can use the free and open source tool [https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer Win32 Disk Imager]. Run it and select the right USB drive, then browse for your Manjaro Linux ISO. Note: Win32 Disk Imager assumes that image files have the " .img " extension, because of that you will most likely be unable to see your ISO unless you do a tweak. When browsing for the image, at the bottom, replace the extensions with " *.iso* ". That way you will be able to see and select your ISO image.
-===== From Linux based Operating Systems =====
-{{Warning|This will destroy all data on your USB drive.}}
-. First, format your USB drive with FAT32 using your favorite tool, like GParted.
-. Using " lsblk ", make sure your USB drive is '''unmounted''', and make sure your use '''''/dev/sdx''''' instead of '''''/dev/sdx1'''''.
-. Change directory to your ISO location (Example):
-{{term|# cd /home/username/downloads/}}
-. Then run the following command:
-{{term|1=# dd if=name_of_the_iso.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M}}
-The process will take a few minutes, depending on the size of the image and your hardware.
-{{Note|It will not show the progress, it will show a message only after the process is finished.}}
