## Download and verify a Manjaro ISO.

The tool is a command line tool and is limited to x86 ISO but it provides a convenient way of downloading and verifying an ISO as they are listed on https://manjaro.org/download.

Neither Sway nor ARM is supported, sway because the files is located elsewhere and ARM because there is no signature.

The script has options to fetch the latest stable release review ISO or unstable developer previews from [Manjaro Github][github].

The [source][1] is free to use, and you are encouraged to clone my repo at [scm.nix.dk][2].

## Get started
Besides the basic Python modules - the script relies on the [Python requests][5] module and p7zip. You can check if you have p7zip installed using

    which 7z

### Manjaro
On Manjaro you don't need to install the requests module - it is present as a dependency of pacman-mirrors.

You may need to install p7zip depending on the result of above check

    sudo pacman -Syu p7zip

### Other Linux
If you are using another Linux you can use requirements.txt to install the necessary dependency.

You will also need to fetch the public key for Manjaro Build Server

    gpg --recv-keys 3B794DE6D4320FCE594F4171279E7CF5D8D56EC8

Use your systems package manager to install p7zip.

### Setup
Create the folder **~/.local/bin**

    mkdir -p ~/.local/bin

Then create a new file in this bin folder - name the file **get-iso** - then use your favorite text editor to copy paste [the code][1] into the new file.

Make the file executable

    chmod +x ~/.local/bin/get-iso
