This tutorial assumes that you have a working copy of VMware Workstation installed.

If you are not familiar with the relationship between the two distributions then I would recommend that you learn how Arch and Manjaro compare to each other before deciding.

If these steps seem like a lot of work just to get a virtual machine up and running, but you want to set up an Arch Linux based virtual machine then you may wan to consider installing Manjaro in VirtualBox instead.

Following this guide will leave you with a very minimal base Arch install which you can choose to customize however you would like. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing Arch Linux as a guest machine in VMware Workstation. If that is the case then it is a great idea to first install Arch Linux as a virtual machine and take it for a test drive. If you are a newer Linux user then you may be interested in installing Arch Linux, but have been reluctant to do so because of the learning curve that is sometimes associated with the process.

Arch Linux is a powerful and customizable operating system with a minimal base install.
