Download and verify a Manjaro ISO.

When I wrote the https://forum.manjaro.org/t/root-tip-how-to-forum-mini-guide-to-verify-iso-signature/146680 I vaguely recalled a shell script in the repo manjaro-iso-downloader but it doesn't work - at least not for me.

So I decided to wrap up some python code.

The tool 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.

Setup

The script relies on a single python package - python-requests.

On Manjaro you don't need to install it - it is default available as a dependency of pacman-mirrors.

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 below code into the new file.

Make the file executable

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

Usage

 $ get-iso -h
usage: get-iso [-h] [-f] {plasma,xfce,gnome,budgie,cinnamon,i3,mate}

This tool will download a named Manjaro ISO and verify the signature

positional arguments:
  {plasma,xfce,gnome,budgie,cinnamon,i3,mate}
                        edition e.g. plasma or xfce

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f, --full            Download full ISO

get-iso version 0.1 - License GPL v3 or later

The downloaded files is placed your home folder. The script defaults to pull the minimal ISO

get-iso plasma

If you rather take the full

get-iso plasma -f

Example result of running the script

 $ get-iso -f mate
Downloading: manjaro-mate-22.0-230104-linux61.iso
