In this video we’ll take a look at how to install Manjaro on VirtualBox.
Installing Manjaro on VirtualBox is a bit more tedious than other distros like Ubuntu or POP!_OS as it requires a lot of installing and rebooting and installing and rebooting ad nauseum.
First Things First
After you have installed VirtualBox:

Then, download the Majaro flavor of your choice from the Majaro website:
https://manjaro.org/download/
Setup VirtualBox
Next, you’ll need to setup a new Virtual Machine (VM) with the following settings:
General Tab:
No changes
System Tab:
Motherboard: Adjust the Base Memory to at least 4096MB
Processor: Give it at least 2 cores
Display:
Screen: Set Video Memory to 128MB
Graphics Controller: Set to VBoxVGA
Storage:
Controller IDE: Mount the Manjaro ISO
Audio:
No changes
Network:
Adapter 1: Change Attached to setting to “Bridged Adapter”
That’s it. Now start the VM.
Installing
Once the VM is up and running, double-click the “Install Manjaro” icon to start the install process.
Make the appropriate selections for the install options per your requirements.
After setup is complete, shut down the VM and unmount the Manjaro ISO.
Initial Updates
Start the VM again and login to the desktop.
Run all the updates when prompted via the bubble in the top right of the screen.
Reboot.
Update the kernel to the 5.09 version.
Reboot.
Open a terminal.
Update the database:
sudo pacman -Syy
Then update your linux
sudo pacman -S linux
Reboot so new kernel loads.
sudo reboot
Open a terminal.
Then install linux-header.
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
Select the option that corresponds to the kernel you installed.
Reboot
sudo reboot
Finally Install Guest Additions CD
Now you can insert the Guest Additions CD.
Open the “File Systems” icon on the desktop.
Open the Guest Additions CD.
Open a terminal in the Guest Additions directory.
Run the VBoxLinux.run file with this command:
sudo bash VBoxLinux.run
Let the script finish.
Reboot
sudo reboot
That’s it. Manjaro is setup and ready to go on your VM.
