Hi @Ramanathan,

How to install software on Manjaro and its spins/derivatives?

This is how you install software in Linux

• In Windows, you download crap from the Internet and install it and if you can’t find it on the net, you install it from the Microsoft store.
• In Linux, that’s doing things completely arse-backwards and this is how you do it instead:

1. Go to Add/Remove software or Software depending on your DE.
2. Go to Categories, and choose your category:

3. Just click Install, Install, Install on any of the software packages you want and then click Apply and the software manager installs all the software you just selected in one go!
4. Use the search function:

Just click the , type the name of the crap you want and Install, Install, Install or Build, Build, Build and click Apply
5. The more proficient you get, the more you’ll know what to install exactly and then you go to a terminal to install what you want:

pamac install opencl-nvidia

6. Do not install .run, .deb files, snaps and flatpacks but activate the AUR and install from there!
7. OK, if there is absolutely, positively no other way to install a piece of software except through a snap or flatpack, follow the instructions from the developer carefully and report any bugs immediately (Most common problems are no access to USB sticks, no access to clipboard, …)
   If you don’t get timely responses on your bug reports, look for another piece of software that does the same thing in the AUR!
8. OK, if there is absolutely, positively no other way to install a piece of software except through a .deb file, please know you’re opening up yourself to something called “Dependency hell” and follow these instructions here.
9. As long as you’re a N00b, do not install software from .run files or from source, because you need to be familiar with:

• checkinstall
  OR
• be familiar with creating a PKGBUILD and including that in this tutorial would need the difficulty level raised to Difficulty: ★★★★☆ so check the AUR first!

Drivers are built into the Linux kernel: install a newer kernel first for new hardware! (see above).
Install an older kernel for older hardware and do not mix very old and very new hardware: that’s a recipe for disaster!
In very rare cases, when you need a driver not included in the kernel, check the AUR first!

Malware can only exist in a closed source system where the virus obfuscates itself and Linux is completely open source where thousands upon thousands of people look at said source code and even if one of them would be kidnapped (or an entire team) and malware would be introduced in their source, security researchers would immediately see that something fishy is going on!
Having said the above, if you run wine, you should still install antivirus software like ClamAV to protect you from Windows viruses.
10.Please don’t download ClamAV from their website* Haven’t you been paying attention so far??? but install it using the following Manjaro command:

pamac install clamav
