Are you looking to install Manjaro, a popular and lightweight Linux distribution? If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to install Manjaro on your computer. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Linux user, this guide will help you through the process with ease.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

1. A computer with at least 2GB of RAM.
2. A USB drive with at least 8GB of storage space.
3. The Manjaro ISO file downloaded from the official website (manjaro.org).
4. A USB flash drive writer tool, such as Rufus (rufus.ie).

Step 1: Download the Manjaro ISO file

First, visit the Manjaro website (manjaro.org) and download the ISO file for the version of Manjaro you want to install. Make sure to choose the correct ISO file for your hardware architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

Step 2: Create a bootable USB drive

Next, you’ll need to create a bootable USB drive with the Manjaro ISO file. To do this, download Rufus from rufus.ie and follow these steps:

1. Insert your USB drive into your computer.
2. Open Rufus and select your USB drive from the “Device” dropdown menu.
3. In the “Boot selection” section, click on “Select” and choose the Manjaro ISO file you downloaded earlier.
4. Click on “Start” to begin the process. Rufus will format the USB drive and copy the ISO file to it.

Step 3: Boot from the USB drive

Once your USB drive is ready, restart your computer and enter the BIOS or UEFI settings. Change the boot order so that your computer boots from the USB drive. Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.

Step 4: Install Manjaro

When your computer boots from the USB drive, you’ll see the Manjaro installer. Follow these steps to install Manjaro:

1. Choose your preferred language and keyboard layout.
2. Select the “Graphical Installer” option.
3. Choose the installation type. For beginners, we recommend the “Automatic” option.
4. Select the disk where you want to install Manjaro. Make sure to back up any important data on the disk before proceeding.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

Step 5: Configure your system

After the installation is complete, you’ll need to configure your system. Follow these steps:

1. Set your timezone and region.
2. Create a user account and password.
3. Install any additional software you need.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully installed Manjaro on your computer. Enjoy your new Linux distribution and explore all the features it has to offer.
