Bootcamp is a tool that allows you to run a Windows virtual machine on your Mac. It can be installed on Manjaro as well. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Bootcamp on Manjaro.
Bootcamp requires VirtualBox to be installed on your system. To install VirtualBox on Manjaro, open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo pacman -S virtualbox
Go to the official website of Bootcamp (https://trybootcamp.vitorfs.com/) and download the latest version of the software. Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the archive to a folder of your choice.
Open the terminal and navigate to the folder where you extracted the Bootcamp archive. Run the following command to start the installation process:
sudo bash install.sh
The installation script will guide you through the process. You will be asked to provide your password, and the installation will begin.
Once the installation is complete, run the Bootcamp wizard by typing the following command in the terminal:
sudo bootcamp
The wizard will guide you through the process of creating a virtual machine and installing Windows. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the process.
Once the installation of Windows is complete, you can run Bootcamp by typing the following command in the terminal:
sudo bootcamp run
This will start the virtual machine and launch Windows. You can use Windows as you normally would on a Windows PC.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bootcamp on Manjaro.
