Installing manjaro to usb

[wtechgo]

I tried another approach that might be easier, but I bumped.
Here’s what I tried.

1. Install arch-bootstrap with pacman

2. Mount USB and navigate to location

3. Run script from TeArch Linux / Applications and Tools / archstrap · GitLab

   Original script:

   # create archlinux rootfs (no need any parameters)
   archstrap airootfs
   # create hyperbola-linux rootfs (community section not available for hyperbola-linux)
   archstrap hyperbola -i community -r 'https://mirror.fsf.org/hyperbola/gnu-plus-linux-libre/testing/$repo/os/$arch'
   # create manjaro rootfs (need only repo changes)
   archstrap manjaro -r ''https://mirrors.fossho.st/manjaro/stable/$repo/$arch'
   # Note: the last line is missing a single quote I think.
   

   Modified script:

   arch-bootstrap airootfs
   arch-bootstrap hyperbola -i community -r 'https://mirror.fsf.org/hyperbola/gnu-plus-linux-libre/testing/$repo/os/$arch'
   arch-bootstrap manjaro -r ''https://mirrors.fossho.st/manjaro/stable/$repo/$arch''
   

4. Error: cannot find package: acl
   acl is installed though in pamac…
   Bump.

Also, I want to install KDE Plasma on persistent USB, but I don’t see how that script can let me define KDE.

Edit:

I got the USB installed with VirtualBox, had to install virtualbox-ext-oracle with pacman. Configuring VirtualBox to use the extension I did with the help of this tutorial https://www.tecmint.com/enable-usb-in-virtualbox

Installing Manjaro on the USB (inside VirtualBox), I did with the help of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-xsVl-e29I

Already a bit old but maybe it contains some hints:

[HowTo] Install Manjaro on USB drive (with and without VirtualBox)

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ This tutorial is the result of an experiment trying to install Manjaro Linux on a USB Drive using graphical tools as much as possible (in a relatively hassle-free way) and so as to create a portable installation which one can carry in one’s pocket. (Respected Forum members, this tutorial was done using Manjaro KDE in UEFI mode, please feel free to update this if anyone succeeds to follow this and install in any other case.)

It is a third party script - unsupported by Manjaro.

I suggest you talk to the creator.
