My first comment when testing Manjaro Linux is that this distribution is not for anyone. Manjaro Linux and probably Arch Linux as well has different ways to install package, different commands and its a bit harder. But thanks to Arch Linux community, blogs, articles or anyone who willing to write about Arch Linux tutorial. First thing to do after installing Manjaro 0.8.10 is learning how to install package on Manjaro Linux.
Manjaro Linux is based on Arch Linux. It does not use yum or sudo apt-get in oder to install package. It uses pacman to install package on it. But there are many applications that re not available through pacman. We need AUR repository to get more packages. Neatv5.4.1.273FULL.sfx.exe (6d204cda1eec) - ## / 64. Tell us what you love about the package or Neat 5 for Windows (Install), or tell us what needs improvement. Share your experiences with the package, or extra configuration or gotchas that you've found.
Manjaro Linux is based on Arch Linux. It does not use yum or sudo apt-get in oder to install package. It uses pacman to install package on it. But there are many applications that re not available through pacman. We need AUR repository to get more packages. The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a community-driven repository for Arch users. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via pacman. The AUR was created to organize and share new packages from the community and to help expedite popular packages’ inclusion into the #Community repository. (wiki).

To install packages on Manjaro and Arch Linux, you use Add/Remove Software.
You can search for a package using the Search menu on the GUI application. For better result, you can include AUR repository. This will directly connect to AUR repository online and provide the result to the GUI application.
If you like, you can also use Terminal to install packages using pacman command. For example:
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
[/codesyntax]
When using pacman command, it will only search for the Arch repository, not AUR repository. If you want to install package from AUR, you will need additional tool called Yaourt (Yet AnOther User Repository Tool). This tool will sync pacman with AUR repository.
First, install yaourt

[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
[/codesyntax]
Next, sync yaourt with pacman
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
[/codesyntax]
Now install package using command
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
[/codesyntax]

Introduction
If you want to create a single file installer using Visual Studio, you can either use InstallShield LE, or repackage your setup.exe and MSI file into a self extracting file. This article explains how to do the latter, with WinRAR, producing a professional looking package.First of all, you may be tempted to just provide the MSI file for the installation. You should only do this if you expect your end users to ensure all .NET runtime requirements are present on the install target machine. This might be adequate in some corporate environments, or for your friends, or for a group of developers, but otherwise Setup.exe bootstrapper should be included with your MSI file.
Creating the install file manually
First of all, we’ll look at the steps involved to create the setup interactively.Select the Setup.exe and your MSI file and right click. Select the “Add to Archive…” context menu choice. Now you can edit the archive name, and check the “Create SFX” checkbox.
Click the “Advanced Options” tab.
Click the “SFX Options” button. This opens a dialog that allows you to change many of the default behaviours of the generated self extract files.
On the General Tab, check “Create in the current folder” and add the option to run Setup.exe after extraction. This will launch your installer when the user runs the self extractor.
On the Text and Icon tab, you can edit the title of the self extract window and add an icon. The text appears in the title bar when the extract is running. The icon is used to represent the self extract file itself in explorer. It makes a nice professional touch to use your icon instead of the default WinRAR icon.
On the Update tab, ensure that “Overwrite all files” is checked.
On the Modes tab, check the “Hide all” option in silent mode. This will make sure that the extract occurs without any additional intervention from the user.
Click “Ok” on the bottom of the SFX options dialog, and “Ok” again for the “Add” dialog. If there are no errors, WinRAR should now create your self extract file.
Well, this is all well and good, but with all these steps, it’s going to be impossible to keep doing this for every new release of your program. You’ve created an automated build process for your installer—you don’t want to fiddle around with this GUI every time you rebuild. Fortunately, WinRAR lets us have the exact same functionality through the command line.
Creating the install file from the command line
First let’s create two text files, script.txt and list.txt. You can put these anywhere that is convenient. I put them both in the output directory for my installer build process, so that folder contains: MSI file
Script.txt
The VB.NET code I show later will refer to these files.
List.txt is a file containing the full filenames of the files to include in the self extractor. Put one file line or use wildcards.
Script.txt contains value pairs that configure some of the SFX options.
Note that the icon will be specified in the command line of the call to WinRAR.
This call will be constructed like this:
In VB.NET I use code similar to this to automate this step:
Conclusion
WinRAR gives you the ability to take an existing setup and deployment project that creates a setup.exe and an MSI file, and release a single file installer based on a self-extracting executable. The creation of such an SFX project can be automated from the command line. Of course other options are available, both in the GUI and from the command line. Look to the WinRAR help for information on commands and switches.I hope you find this useful. Please take the time to browse my other articles, and please remember to vote if you find this helpful.
