Manjaro ARM Installer

Fork of upstream with --output-image mode added — builds to a sparse .img file via loop device instead of writing to a real block device. With no flags, behaves identically to upstream.

Usage

# build to an image file (12 GB)
sudo ./manjaro-arm-installer --output-image ./manjaro.img --image-size 12G

# env-var form (drop-in for scripts)
sudo IMG_OUTPUT=manjaro.img IMG_SIZE=12G ./manjaro-arm-installer

# compress after build (xz preferred, zstd fallback)
sudo ./manjaro-arm-installer --output-image ./manjaro.img --compress

Default image size is 8G if --image-size isn't passed.

The interactive dialogs (edition, user, password, locale, etc.) run as normal.

Dependencies

Same as upstream: bash wget git systemd dialog parted libarchive openssl gawk dosfstools polkit. Plus binfmt-qemu-static if running on x86_64 (reboot or sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt after install). xz or zstd only if using --compress.
