## Installation Proccess
Flash your iso to a USB Stick, If you want a easy way to do this. Use [Balena Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/). For a more command line way of doing this, use dd.

**I do not recommend installing this just yet. There are still a few bootloader issues to work out at this stage.**

**More In-Depth Installation Steps Coming Soon, in the meantime consult [mbp-fedora](https://github.com/mikeeq/mbp-fedora) Specifically Regarding Bootloader, and WiFi**

## Building for yourself

```
pamac install manjaro-tools-iso git
```

Clone the repository to your home directory
```
git clone https://github.com/JPyke3/mbp-manjaro ~/iso-profiles
```
run a command corrisponding to your preferred version of Manjaro:
##### xfce
```
buildiso -f -p xfce -k linux56-mbp
```
##### GNOME
```
buildiso -f -p gnome -k linux56-mbp
```
##### KDE-Plasma
```
buildiso -f -p kde -k linux56-mbp
```
##### i3wm
```
buildiso -f -p i3 -k linux56-mbp
```
##### Cinnamon
```
buildiso -f -p cinnamon -k linux56-mbp
```
##### Budgie
```
buildiso -f -p budgie -k linux56-mbp
```

#### File Locations 
Navigate to the directory for your iso file. If Using xfce GNOME or KDE go to:
