Step 1: Download Installation ISO

Visit the Manjaro Downloads page to pull the Desktop edition you love.

Once the ISO file is downloaded, you may need to create a bootable installation medium if doing installation on your Desktop PC or Laptop. Example, to burn the iso on an usb stick, enter the following command in a terminal :

sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/manjaro.iso of=/dev/sd[drive letter] status=progress oflag=sync

Where:

  • /dev/sd[drive letter] is the path to your USB device
  • /path/to/manjaro.iso is the path to the ISO file you downloaded.

Step 2: Install Manjaro 19

After creating installation medium, boot to Manjaro 19 to begin installation process.
